Tale of Chapl Kala
Dohira
Uggar Singh was a Raja who ruled over the country of Kaskar.
He had a lot of wealth and marched with a great army.(l)
Chapal Kala was the name of her pretty daughter.
Her beauty made her to look like the goddess of love.(2)
One day she came across Ainthi Singh, the handsome one,
And, blissfully, she made love with him.(3)
Chaupaee
Everyday she would revel with him and she was unable to let him go.
She had kept him in a house; no body had the knowledge of this.( 4)
After sometimes she was married and her husband came to take her
away.
She made love with him and slept with him quietly.(5)
The woman was not satisfied with him and, leaving him, she went to
her paramour.
The friend received her and relished in love making for long time.(6)
Dohira
What if one is powerful, but cannot gratify in sex,
Neither he gets comfort himself nor can he satisfy the woman.(7)
Chaupaee
The person who can satisfy a woman and takes long time in love
making,
He gets happiness and provides exhilaration to the woman.(8)
Otherwise, how much strong he may be, the woman is not fascinated.
He, who takes excessive time in love making, he wins the heart of
thewoman.(9)
Dohira
Cuddling and embracing she grabbed the friend,
And voice of smooching, made the husband to awake.(l0)
They were revelling so intensely that no one else could do it.
Being tired both, the man and the woman, went into slumber.(11)
Thus, when the woman went into sleep with her paramour, then the
husband saw them.
He clutched their hair like putting hand in the pile of snakes.(l2)
(410)

Dohira
He thrust the English dagger on his throat,
And he pressed it so much that it went right through.(l3)
With the dagger, paramour was injured but did not tell his wife.
When the warm blood touched her, then she got up in rage.(l4)
She took the dagger and put through her husband’s ear.
She plundered his body like a goat, and there, after putting the house
on fire, she came out shouting.(l5)
Dohira
‘My husband has abandoned the living and has become an ascetic.
‘Putting his house on fire, he has gone away.(l6)
Chaupaee
‘Please, conduct some remedy and search for him in the jungle.
‘I will never even take a sip of water, and without meeting him, I will die.(l7)
Arril
All the people went to the jungle to search for him,
And told her that her husband was not found anywhere.
They all came and told her to keep calm,
But the innocent people did not know that he was dead.(l8)(l)

Tale of Raja Narkasur
Dohira
Narkasur was the most prominent Raja of Guhati.
He won over many other Rajas and snatched their daughters.(l)
Chaupaee
He planned a strategy and apprehended one hundred Rajas.
After the addition of one more Raja, he planned to have a sacrificial
feast.(2)
His primary fort was built of iron and second one with copper.
(411)

The third one was made of eight metals and the fourth one of lead.(3)
He had a fifth one built of glass, seeing which even Shiva hung his head.
The sixth one was extremely beautiful that it could be described as
Brahma, the Creator’s abode.( 4)
The seventh fort was of gold, seeing which the fort of Lanka felt humbled.
In that the Raja used to live himself, and any Raja who did not obey
him, he would apprehend and bring him there.(5)
‘If one more Raja comes into my grip, then I will kill them all.
‘I will marry one thousand queens, and only then my sacrificial feast
will be fulfilled.’( 6)
One of the Ranis said, ‘Uggar Sen Raja is in great luck.
‘If you win him over only then your sacrificial feast will be honoured.’(7)
Dohira
As told by the Raja, a letter was written,
And asked to be delivered where Lord Krishna was seated.(8)
‘Where are you staying Lord Krishna, whereas we are awaiting eagerly.
‘You help these Rajas to be saved and enable them to go to their homes.(9)
When Krishna heard this wail, he mounted his large heron,
And reached the iron-fort and won it over.(l 0)
Then he captured the one of copper and the one of eight-metals.
He took over Shiva’s favourite and then raised the glass one.(ll)
When the silver one was laid a siege, the Raja woke up, took the
arms,
And mobilised his army as he flew into rage.(l2)
Arril
The raiders unsheathed their swords, and galloped their horses.
With the arrows from Krishna, heads rolled over.
Some of them started to abandon the battle-field.(l3)
After capturing the silver-fort,
He (Krishna) reached the place of golden-fort.
Chaupaee
The brave ones sacrificed themselves spiritedly and they were
accepted by the fairies.
Even the fairies were in competition to take the bravest ones.( 19)
Dohira
At the end, Krishna won over and got all the Rajas released.
All the demons were killed and the women were liberated.(20)
(412)

Chaupaee
This was the result of a letter written by one female.
All the woman, after the death of Narksur, patronised Krishna.(2l)
Krishna espoused sixteen thousand women and revelled with them
in variable manners.
The golden fort was dismantled there, and with that he built one in
Dwarka.(22)
Savaryya
Somewhere he was playing chess and somewhere romping in
throwing colours.
Somewhere songs were being Sung in the company of clapping and
children were dancing.
Somewhere professional singers were reciting and new clothes were
being sewn.
All sort of amusements were being proceeded and every aspect was
full of heartfelt rejoicing.(23)

Tale of Rani Kailaas Mati
Dohira
There lived a Rani, called Kailaas Mati, whose beauty was beyond
description. Through the Rajas of the world, she had learn t the tactics
of war.(l)
There was one Bir Nath Singh, who was known for his handsomeness.
Without his proximity, there was no charisma, and even the Moon
felt humble before him.(2)
Day and night he would annihilate the enemies, and plunder the kings
everyday.
No ship could pass by and he would loot all of them.(3)
Arril
When he had pillaged the foreigners, they all joined together.
(413)

Where the Emperor Shah Jehan was, they all went there.
They all expressed their grievances and asked,
‘Please do justice with us and finish these dacoits.’( 4)
Shah Talk:
‘Tell me who has plundered you, we will annihilate them.
‘Now you reveal the names of those people.
‘I will send my army immediately,
‘And immediately get all your goods back.’(5)
Foreigners Talk:
‘Where there is Kenya Kumari’s temple, he is the Raja of that place.
‘He had killed many foreigners and ravaged their goods.’(6)
Chaupaee
When the Emperor heard this, he sent his army there.
It reached swiftly there, where the temple of Kenya Kumari was.(7)
Arril
In the meantime Bir Singh expired and went to the celestial domain.
People rumoured that the Rani has scorched him.
Some told that he was sick for a few days.
Holding a sword in her hand, she took over the rule.(8)
(She announced,) ‘Till the time Raja fin1shes his ablution,
‘I will go and strike the enemy head with the sword.
‘After annihilating all the foes, I will come and pay my obeisance to
my husband.’(9)
Listening to t-his many brave one became alert,
And laced themselves with various arms.
Some of the ordinary people, she took with her,
To display the might of a bigger force.(l0)
At night time she collected ten thousand bulls.
With each horn she tied one burning torch.
She raided the treasurer of the people,
And plundered and killed all the Rajas.( 12)
The second day passed and the third one,
And the Rani beat the drums at another site.
People tried to run with their riches,
But she caught them and did not let them go.(l3)
On the fourth day she put the fire on,
(414)

Herself, she occupied a secluded place along with the women’s brigade.
Most of the Rajas came to extinguish the fire.
Those remained behind, she went and massacred them.(l4)
On the fifth day, she realigned her units,
And invaded the enemy troops
In the fighting the situation became so severe,
That the recognition of the son from the father became dubious.( 15)
Dohira
Even at night the fighting went on,
And in the melee son was killing father and vice versa.(l6)
In the cover of darkness they struck each other,
And the distinction between the ruler and the subject was diminished.(17)
Arril
During the sixth day, two-man deep trenches were dug.
They were covered with straw, and water was sprinkled on the top.
Then she challenged those fools to come to fight.(l9)
Arranging her army, she took her position,
Armed with bow and arrows.
She marched backward to let them follow her.
Instantly whole enemy army marched forward.(20)
Dohira
In one go sixteen thousands enemy men were finished.
Those who escaped, she returned and slew them.(2l)
Arril
When the seventh day came, she put poison in the food.
Beating the victory drums and leaving the food behind, she
retreated.(22)
Dohira
Hundreds of, all those, came and devoured those sweets.
They felt nourished but soon squirmed to death.(24)
After about four watches the woman came back with unsheathed
swords in their hands.
Those who were still writhing under the effect of poison were
terminated.(25 )
Arril
She, now, intended to conduct a peaceful accord,
(415)

And she did this after realigning her units.


When she had gone away from the effective range of enemy guns,
She ordered to gallop the horses to raid with drawn swords.(26)
Dohira
She annihilated all the Rajas and finished their troops.
She, then, raised the flag of victory and returned to her abode.(27)
From her, all the Rajas of the world learned the tactics.
Just one alone killed all the prominent Rajas of Shah Jehan.(28)(l)

Tale of Vijay]Kumari
Chaupaee
There lived a Raja in the country of greater Gujarat, who had a wife
known as Vijay Kumari.
There used to live one person belonging to Kashatri clan with whom
Kumari fell in love.(l)
Arril
When the darkness fell, she called him over and blissfully enjoyed
sex with him.
She would cuddle and embrace and let him not go,
Without revelling in various positions to satisfy.(2)
Dohira
The Rani took him with her and went to the garden,
And frolicked sex to seek ecstasy.(3)
In the garden where she was rejoicing,
Her husband walked in to see the wonders.(4)
Chaupaee
Seeing the Raja, Rani was aghast, and told her friend,
‘Remember what I tell you, do not be afraid of foolish Raja.’(5)
(416)

Arril
She pushed the compatriot in a ditch and spread a lion skin
immaculately on the top.
Herself, she sat there disguised as an ascetic and when he was passing
through, she did not look at the Raja.(6)
Raja was astonished to see her in this shape,
(And asked his servants,) ‘Which country this ascetic has come from?
‘Let us go and bow at ‘his’ feet and seek ‘his’ blessings.’(7)
When the Raja came near, the ascetic neither got up nor vocalized.
Instead she turned her back. He then folded his hands,(8)
And bowed in reverence but ascetic turned her head away.
As the Raja moved around she would manoeuvre to the opposite
side.(9)
Observing her such action, the Raja was impressed and complimented
her.
‘He does not care about me (being the Raja), that is why he is not
articulating from his mouth.’(l0)
In spite of trying hard, the Raja lost and did not recognise the Rani.
After hard efforts she said a few words but foolish Raja could not
identify.( 11 )
She had conveyed, ‘One who needs wealth should talk to the Raja.
‘We don’t care for the poor Raja, we acknowledge only One Name.’(l2)
In the meantime darkness fell and the Raja asked all his companions
to go away.
The Raja stayed there alone and, in anxiety, half the night passed
through.(l3)
Arril
The Raja was overpowered by sleep and she woke the friend up by
pinching him and revelled in sex play.
They went away from there, leaving a note behind,
‘We are heading towards the heavens after observing the earth.(l4)
Chaupaee
In the morning Raja got up, and did not find them.
He saw the writing, called and talked to his ministers,(l5)
‘After observing this world, the yogis have written this note,
‘And now they have gone to see the heavens to seek the bliss.’(l6)
(417)

Chaupaee
All commenced calling him a pious person and none understood the reality.
Through this trick the woman saved her paramour and had made the
Raja to go inside the ditch.
The Raja started to worship at the ditch and had no doubts in his mind,
‘Leaving behind the heaven who had come here, 1 bow my head to
him.’(l8)(1)

Tale of Rani Ishaq Mati
Chaupaee
There was a town named Sugrawati; Bushehar Singh was its Raja.
Ishaq Mati was the name of his wife who had been created after
searching around fourteen regions.(l)
Dohira
Both, in the earth and the sea, there was none other to compete with her.
The wives of all the gods and demons bowed their heads to her.(2)
Arril
She saw the youthful son of a Shah and thought,
‘I must make love with him’.
She sent one of her maids and called him over,
And then made love with him with great elation.(3)
She embraced the friend in many ways,
Cuddling and caressing she indulged in sex.
Kissing and posturing in many ways,
She satisfied the lover to the full extent.( 4)
She showed him various positions and in a few moments his heart.
Cuddled and nestled like an intimate friend
And the young son of the Shah was totally enchanted.(5)
Dohira
The Shah’s young son remained there day and night,
(418)

And through all his body, she attained the exhilaration.(6)


Savaiyya
The woman kept lying with her lover and sang lilting songs,
Along with kissing and adopting various positions.
The woman was young and so was the boy, and they revelled
dynamically.
Forgetting the dread of all the three domains, she was getting
overwhelmed.
They were acting upon the techniques of Koka (Shastra) and were
enjoyingthe sex-play..
Again and again, they were delving and were admiring each other’s
comely looks.
Relishing the beetle-nuts, and flashing eyes, they inundated,
Like the two intrepid ones engrossed in shooting arrows.(8)
Chaupaee
They were immersed so much that they forgot the demeanour of
honour.
The newly developed love was unique and they forgot all their craving
for food and sleep.(9)
One day she had called him when she was being observed by her co-
wives.
They felt angry and disclosed all the happening to the guards.(10)
The guards were furious too and they went to the place where she
was sleeping. .
They caught both of them and, then, planned to kill them.(1l)
Then the Rani said, ‘Please listen to me, you the guards,
‘If my friend dies, I will die, and if the wife dies, the Raja must die too.’(12)
She sent for a cock and a hen, and (secretly) asked her friend to give
poison to the hen.
She collected both of them but the foolish guards did not know the
secret.(14 )
She killed the cock herself and, then, soon after the hen died as well.( 14)
‘Listen, guards, listen to what I tell you, if my friend dies, I will expire too.
‘Soon after, the Raja will pass away. What are you going to gain?(15)
‘If the Raja stays alive, he will look after you all.
‘But if the Raja and his wife go to the heaven, you will lose all your
earnings.(16)
‘Therefore, why not stay at your job to earn money.’
(419)

They could not fathom the reality of the episode of the cock and the
hen, and did not kill the Rani and her friend.(17)
Dohira
Ishaq Mati played the stUnt by killing the cock and the hen.
She saved the life of the pal by the threat of the Raja’s death.(18)
Chaupaee
They had thought, ‘If he killed the Rani,
‘And if the Rani dies, the Raja will expire too, and we will gain
nothing.’(19)
The guards became extremely greedy, and did not disclose it to the Raja.
They did not kill the paramour and safely let him through the way.(20)

Tale of Rani Mushak Mati
Dohira
In the country of Coochbihar, there lived a Raja called Bir Datt.
He was very wealthy, and Indra Puri was the name of the city where
he abided.( 1)
Chaupaee
Mushak Mati was his premier queen; she was the epitome of the
daughter of the Cupid.
She was passionate, and both, the gods and the demons, admired her.(2)
She would entangle any body she liked and would not even care
about (Emperor) Akbar.
She wouldn’t let any body live in peace and plunder the traders.(3)
Akbar was very furious, and decided to lay a siege.
All the Rajas and the Ranies, came forward armed with armours.(4)
Dohira
When they reached near Coochbihar,
They sent a letter accompanied by the beat of a drum.(5)
‘We are Writing you to come and meet us,
(420)

‘Either you bow on our feet or get ready for the fight.’(6)
When the Raja received such a letter he decided to run away.
When Mushak Mati learned this, she tied him up and dumped him in
a
dungeon.(7)
Various army personnel were sent who had killed many valiant ones.
Many Rajas were apprehended and they had sacrificed at the portal
of goddess Bhawani.(8)
Dohira
She went to a marshland and beat the drum of war.
Hearing the challenge, all the brave people came there.(9)
Those who stuck there, were chased and caught.
They were sacrificed for the goddess and all their crowns and horses
were taken away.(l0)
Arril
A very well trained servant was sent to that army.
‘I will tell you a safe way to escape.’
All the soldiers could not understand the secret,
And they all accompanied him to the jungle.(l2)
When the servant had satisfied himself that all the soldiers have gone
in the jungle,
He went and informed the Rani everything.
She closed both the entrances from the mountain hill,
And, after cutting their noses, let them go to (heir houses.(l4)
All the warriors took to their feet, including Sayeed, Mughals, Pathans
and Sheikhs.
Some abandoned their arms and disguised themselves as women.(l5)
After defeating the army, she offered a girl to Jan Khan, the emissary.
And told, ‘We have no cause to fight the Emperor,
‘And all my ministers agree with my counsel.’(l6)
Foolish Jan Khan was pleased to hear these words.
He agreed to take the girl and went to his home (and thought),
‘I will make them to hold each others (Raja and Emperor) hands (in
reconciliation).(l7)
Chaupaee
Then the Rani arranged a lot of gunpowder and spread it all over the
place.
(421)

She slightly covered it with sand and arranged it to be ignited with a


burning splinter.(l8]
She sent a maid with a message that the girl was ready for the wedlock,
And asked Khan to come and get married to her.(l9)
With his army, without cognisance, he marched to the place.
When Rani saw him approaching the place, she ignited the detonator.(20)
As soon as the gunpowder burst, the bodies of the soldiers were shattered.
They flew up to the sea and no one was spared.(21)
Through this trickery the clever woman saved her country,
And Jan Khan along with his army was annihilated.

Tale of Atpal Devi
Dohira
Once there was a daughter of the Raja whose name was Atpal Devi.
She was married to another Raja who had neither a son nor a daughter.(1)
Chaupaee
The Raja tried very hard but no son was born to him.
The whole life passed and the old age took over.(2)
His Rani was still young but the Raja had lost his youth.
The Raja could not make love with her, which made the woman irritant.(3)
She created friendship with one man,
Called him at home and revelled in love-making.( 4)
Chaupaee
She called him as her righteous brother and spread this in the world.
She would always call him, ‘Brother, brother.’ but enjoyed sex blissfully.(6)
Arril
She indulged in sex-play adopting different ways,
And eliminated the Raja’s love from her heart.
She would kiss and cuddle exchanging her looks,
(422)

As a he-deer is enchanted by the she-deer.(7)


The day came when the Raja departed for his heavenly abode.
The subject got distressed seeing the kingdom disintegrating.
As the Rani had brough t in her paramour and given the power of
reigning in his hands.(8)
Chaupaee
(She had declared,) ‘I have no issue and my Raja has departed to the
domain of death.
‘Now my brother will rule over and the crown will adorn his head.(9)
‘My brother will govern and the royal umbrella and whisk will hover
over his crown.
‘All the warriors will obey him and what ever the orders he gives,
they will execute.’(l0)
Dohira
Announcing as such she handed over the kingdom to her paramour.
She made him the Raja and went under his sovereignty. (11)
Chaupaee
All the combatants bowed at his feet, and so were all the village heads.
She bade them good-bye with the robes of honours and she, herself,
set to make love.(l2)
‘My rule is successful and all the wealth now belongs to my friend.
‘There is no distinction between me and my friend, and this is known
to all, the old and the young,’(13)
But the people were questioning and they discussed in the ministerial
level as well,
‘Rani has destroyed the government by giving the rule in the hands
of her brother.( 14)
Dohira
The young woman, young man revelled splendidly,
After endowing him the governance through trickery.
‘Instead of letting it ruined, the woman handed over the power to her brother,’
Foolish people thought this way and did not comprehend the
reality.(l6)(1)

Tale of Bharthari
Dohira
In the city of Dhara Nagri a wise Raja Bharthari used to live.
He was adept in fourteen faculties and was a very brave person.(l)
Bhan Mati was his good wife but Pin gal Devi was his beloved one.
She was the favourite of all the gods and the demons.(2)
Dohira
Bhan Mati’s extreme beauty spread in the domains of the earth and
thewater.
The gods became mad and the demons forfeited their self for her love.(3)
Pingla Mati was not lagging behind,
And Brahma, after creating her, could not create any thing similar.(4)
Chaupaee
One day, the Raja went on a hunting spree and planned a strategy.
He drenched his clothes in blood and sent the servant back to tell that
the
Raja had been taken away by a lion.(5)
With blood on clothes, he (the servant) came in the house, and
announced that the Raja was no more.
Getting the news, the Rani prepared herself to immolate but Pingal
just collapsed and died.( 6)
Dohira
(The poet says) The woman who thinks of immolation does not
deserve the praise,
But, the one who relinquishes her life when alienated, is admirable.
Arril
After playing about when Bharthari came home, he was dumbfounded
tofind that Pingla had expired.
By putting dust on his head he lamented
‘How could I reverse back to the time when I sent the bloodstained clothes?
‘Should I kill myself with a dagger or become a yogi.
(424)

‘Curse to my living whose wife, such as Pingla, is no more.(9)


Dohira
‘All those ornaments, which are embellishing her hands,
‘To me, they look like the snakes.(l0)
Savaiyya
‘The flute sounds like sharp knife and the clothes seem to be burning
like fire.
‘Other musical instruments are hitting like daggers.
‘The ragas strike like disease and the drops of the rain are like the
poisonous arrows.
‘The necklaces appear to be the winding snakes.
‘The cool breeze seems to be my enemy, and speaking is like weeping.
The sweet voice of the nigh tin gale seems like the cry of a sick man.(l3)
Chaupaee
‘Taking a coconut shell in my hand, I will, resolutely, go forward and
let myself burn in the fire.
‘Until and unless the lady becomes alive again, Bharthari will not
drink a drop of water.’(l4)
Arril
In the meantime, Gorakh Nath, the yogi, arrived there.
With the sounds of conch-shell he paid his respect,
And the Rani became alive again and appeared in many bodies.
(He said,) ‘Listen Raja Bharthari, you pick out your own Rani
Pingla.’(15)
Dohira
The Raja thought, ‘What should I do? Whom should I pick up.
‘There are so many Ranis and they all look like Pingla.’(l6)
Arril
After announcing as such, Gorakh Nath went away.
(There seems to be a lapse in the continuity of the story P.S.B.)
Bhan Mati was enchanted by another man.
From that day onward she disregarded the Raja,
‘Although a queen, she was captivated by a low profile.’(l7)
Dohira
There lived a maid Doot Mati, whom she called,
And with base intentions, sent her to reveal her intention of love.(l8)
(425)

Chaupaee
When ‘the maid came back, the Rani asked her,
‘Tell me, when is my paramour coming to gratify my heart.?(l9)
Arril
‘Tell me my friend when my paramour will come here?
‘When will he arrive, look into my eyes and smile,
‘And 1 will embrace and cuddle him with love?
‘Please tell me, my friend, when is he coming?(20)
‘When will he clasp me smilingly,
‘So that 1 could forget all my afflictions?
‘When he talks to me flirtatiously,
‘That moment 1 will sacrifice myself for him.(22)
‘When will he speak to me teasingly,
‘And delicately take me into his arms?
‘I will, as well, cleave my body with his.’(24)
Arril
Listening to all this talk the friend departed,
She reached there where he used to perform menial job,
She made him to take of lowly clothes,
And brought him there disguised as a gentleman.(26)
When the woman met the man of her liking,
She embraced and cuddled him constantly.
She endowed him with kisses and various postures.
And she eliminated all the poverty of the friend.(27)
Once a Brahmin had conducted the worship of a goddess,
He was bestowed with the immortal fruit,
Which he had brought for Bharthari Raja, and blessed,
‘Raja, you eat this and live for ever to serve the people.’(28)
The Raja had accepted the fruit in his hand and passed it over to
Bhan Mati.
She thought, now, to give that to that menial man,
So that he would remain young and play about with her for ever.(29)
‘Since 1 have met the deer friend, 1 am feeling contentment.
‘1 can sacrifice all my body, soul and wealth for him.
‘He has stolen my heart and 1 am lost in his love.
He will remain young forever with this, rare fruit.’(30)
(426)

The Rani had full control over the Raja’s heart although she had given
her own heart to some one else.
But he (the base man) had fallen for a prostitute and handed over the
fruit to her.(31)
Arril
The prostitute had fallen for the looks of the Raja.
She wanted the Raja to live forever.
She took the same fruit and gave it the Raja,
And said, ‘You must live till the earth and sky prevail.’(32)
The prostitute had given fruit to the Raja, because she was tempted
by his looks.
The Raja took the fruit in his hand and thought,
‘This is the same piece which 1 had given to my woman.’(33)
Arril
After pondering over thoroughly he decided,
And called in the prostitute and asked her,
‘You tell me the truth, where did you get this?’
Then, with folded hands she spoke thus,
‘The Rani, to whom you have endowed your heart, has fallen for a
lackey.
‘That lowly, leaving the Rani came to me and told that your woman
had given her for safe-keeping.’(35)
‘I was enticed by your handsomeness, and was pierced by the arrows
of love.
‘Please take this from me to live forever and make love without any
hindrance.
‘You gave this fruit to the lady with great affection,
‘And to show her love, she passed it over to the ignoble.
‘He took it and, with great fondness, handed over to me.
‘I am burning in the fire of passion for you,(37)
‘I am entangled by listening your praises, and have lost all my domestic
senses.
‘I am handing over to you this immortal fruit,
‘And, now, you satisfy my sexual urge.’(38)
‘Great, you are great,’ The Raja exclaimed and discussed the matter
with her .
The prostitute embraced him and without any embroil she gave herself
(427)

in.(39)
(Poet says) When you find a friend of your liking, you should
surrenderyour heart to him
Cuddling and caressing you involve yourself, and through intimacy
beat the Cupid’s rage.( 40)
Looking affectionately at her face, the Raja said,
‘You fancied me, but I am not as handsome as you say.
‘The whole world desires to live for ever,
‘But you have brought the fruit to me to survive indefinitely, I am
indebted to you.’( 41)
The Prostitute Talk
‘The fruit, which you gave to your woman, was obtained by the priest
after many penances.
‘She took it from you and gave it to her paramour.
‘He, being benevolent to me, gave it to me but, impressed by your
looks,
I handed over to you.’
The prostitute gave it to the Raja to enable him to rule forever, and
provide her solace.( 43)
Arril
(Raja,) ‘Down with me who gave fruit to this woman,
‘And she is condemnable as she handed it over to a menial.
‘The woman who did not respect me is not worthy of my love.
‘And also is worthy of censure, the lowly man who could not retain a
ladylike the Rani.’( 44)
Savaiyya
The Raja took the fruit and ate the half himself and gave half to Roop Mati.
He cut the paramour into thousand pieces and punished the friend
who was the gobetween.
He distributed all his wealth and took to asceticism.( 45)
Dohira
In the jungle he met Gorakh Nath and he (Gorakh Nath) learned,
That Raja, after abdicating kingdom, had become an ascetic.( 46)
Dohira
The woman had begged him earnestly but she lost,
The Raja had opted for the jungle and did not listen to any one.( 49)
(428)

When Raja reached the jungle, he was contacted by Gorakh.


He gave him a lot of instructions and took him as his disciple.(50)
Bharthari Talk
‘Who lives, and who dies? Who discourses and who listens?
‘Who weeps and who laughs? Who wins his old age?’(51)
Chaupaee
Smilingly Gorakh spoke, ‘Listen, Bharthari, my sovereign,
‘The one who abdicates falsehood and ego, never dies.(52)
Dohira
‘The time kills and the time is all the creation.
‘Narrate His glory and adhere to His benevolence.(53)
‘The time is gaiety and the time is bereavement.
‘Through time is the time killed, but the naive understands not.’(55)
Chaupaee
‘In the time one dies and then why remain in whims,
‘All are born in due course and expire in due time.(55)
‘The way Ganga flows and meets the sea,
‘Similarly the Raja has come to meet Gorakh.(59)
Chaupaee
(Poet says :)
I will not narrate in details now, being afraid the Granth may become
too big.
I am not going to linger on with the story and if there are any
inaccuracies, please correct them.( 60)
When Gorakh had expounded like that, the Raja regained all his wisdom.
He acquiesced the knowledge and amalgamated like water in
water.(61)
When many years had gone by, Bharthari returned to his country.
One of the woman recognised the Raja and went and informed the
Ranis.(63)
Sortha
(What they saw) No flesh was left on his body and the blood was not
traceable.
The breath seemed to be at the last end.(64)
Chaupaee
‘Oh, Raja, your yoga has been accepted, first you take over your rule
(429)

andthen go to become ascetic,’


And this way all the people requested.(66)
(On his return the Raja’s observations)
Dohira
The Ranis who were young, had stepped into old age.
Now they were devoid of beauty and they had shed their egos.(67)
Those who were young, then, they had attained full womanhood.
Those who were gone over the age, had vanished.(69)
Dohira
Those who were very egoists for their youth,
They were old and hardly managed their bodies.(70)
Arril
One Rani came forward and said,
‘Gorakh had come into my dream and asked me to tell you to rule till
the time these women are living.
‘When all of them had expired then you go and become an ascetic.’(76)
On listening to the pleadings of the Ranis, the Raja was pacified.
‘Whatever Pingla had said he accepted and remained there to rule.(77)
Dohira
Accessing to the request of the Ranis he ruled over happily,
And after the death of Pingla, he departed for the jungles.(78)(l)

Tale of Rani Chanchala ](umari
Dohira
In the country of Magdh a raja called Saram Singh used to live.
All the valiant people dreaded of him and bowed at his feet.(l)
Chaupaee
Chanchala Kumari was his wife; she very pretty.
Her beauty had no bounds; she was like the consort of the Cupid.(2)
(430)

Arril
The Raja had a servant who was very handsome and one day when
the Rani saw him,
She was entangled in his looks.
After great efforts the Rani called him over.(3)
When she met him after his arrival in her house, Chanchala Kumari spoke,
‘You come and make love with me, and forget about all your
adversities.’( 4)
Chaupaee
The servant then thought, ‘The wife of the Raja wanted to revel with me.’
‘If I make love with her then I will be thrown in the hell.’(5)
He bluntly refused to the Rarii and told, ‘I cannot make love with you.
‘Never bring such a thought in your mind and let me go immediately
from here.’(6)
More he declined, the more Chanchala begged, bowing on his feet’
‘I am pierced with the arrows of your love and I am dying to have
sex with you.(7)
Dohira
‘I am the queen but I am falling on the feet of a destitute.
‘Why don’t you make love with me?(8)
‘If one finds a precious stone, one should take care and do not let it waste.
‘One must keep that next to his body as it brings good luck in the house.(9)
‘I am getting mad at your charm, and I have all my senses.
‘With my folded hands I beg on your feet that by embracing you
must have sex with me.’(l0)
That fool did not acquiesce even when the Rani went down on his feet.
He did not care about her honour and made Rani to fly in a rage.(ll)
Arril
‘Listen, you fool, first of all I will kill you and then put a dagger
through my stomach.
‘Understand this, my wrath is the messenger of death for you.
‘You better come and love me.’(l2)
Chaupaee
The fool still did not agree and the Rani becal11e furious.
She killed him by hanging and threw him in the well.( 13)
Wailing loudly she called others and showed them the body in the well.
Then she talked to the Raja, ‘Listen, what I am going to say,
(431)

‘He has died by falling in the well, now you manage the rest.’(l5)(l)

Tale of Tarita Prabha
Dohira
In the country of Nepal, Radur Singh Raja used to rule.
He was very gallant and the whole world acknowledged this.(l)
Chaupaee
The name of his principal wife was Prabha; she was very pretty.
Tarita Prabha was her daughter; the beauty she had, superseded the
Moon.(2)
When her adolescent had gone past and her body-appendage sparkled
her youth,
The love started to torture her and she longed to meet a companion.(3)
Arril
She called a maid named Kanj Mati and divulged the secret of her heart.
‘You arrange me to meet Chel Kumar.
‘And I will give you whatever you desire for your life.’(4)
Dohira
Kanj Mati, after listening to the princess,
Without any delay, went to the house of Chel Kumar.(5)
Arril
She, immediately, conveyed her message to Chel Kumar.
When he arrived, she revelled with him blissfully.
Damsel and the youth would not spare each other for a moment even,
As if they had obtained the treasures of nine domains.( 6)
Cuddling and caressing she would embrace, And endowed him with
various positions and kisses.
Although the bed was broken but she did not let him go,
And she extremely elevated his endeavour.(7)
(432)

Chaupaee
Revelling in sex she was so exhilarated that she thought she was
strangulated in the love forever.
She determined to marry with him only, otherwise to kill herself with
adagger.(8)
Arril
After lovemaking she asked him to get up (and go) and, she, herself,
tookthe bed in the courtyard and went to sleep.
When she saw her father coming in, she got up abruptly and started
to cryvery loudly.(9)
The Raja came forward and said, ‘You, my solace, why are you wailing.
‘I will do whatever you say and if somebody has annoyed you, I will
annihilate him.( 10)
Girl Talk
‘I was sleeping and I had a dream that the Raja married me to a pauper.
‘Although he was not suitable for me, you sent me to his house.(11)
Dohira
‘I took seven circumambulation round the fire,
‘And my parents gave me in marriage to him.(12)

Sortha
‘I was not considered worthy of your house; you gave me out in alms.
‘That is why I am grieving and crying.(13)
Chaupaee
‘Now, whatever the God’s will is, whether it is good or bad.
‘I must marry him otherwise I will kill myself with a dagger.(14)
Dohira
‘In my dream, my parents have given me to the person,
‘And I have sworn to become the wife of that.(15)
Arril
‘Either I will marry that person or I will take poison.
‘Without his sight I feel as if! am hit with a knife.
‘You better call him now and hand me over,
‘Otherwise abandon expectation of my living.’(16)
Pronouncing as such she became unconscious,
And it seemed she had died without being hit by a sword.
(433)

The father came forward and took the daughter in his lap,
And the mother, wailing loudly, expressed her anguish.(l7)
‘The boy you had seen in the dream, reveal to us so that we marry
you with him to seek affections,’ (the father said.)
She looked around and then constantly watched their faces,
Pretending, as if trying to find somebody.(18)
Slowly and steadily she commenced the talk and pronounced the
name of Chel Kumar.
‘To whom my father and mother have given me,
‘I have accepted him as my husband.’(19)
‘You are great,’ said the Raja,
‘Whomsoever she wishes, she can convert from a pauper to prince.’(20)
The Raja called him zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzover and opened
the door of his treasury and asked him to take whatever he wanted.
Chel Kumar was invited by the Raja and they were married according
to the rites of Vedas.
Through this trickery, the girl made him her husband and no body
ever understood the mystery.
Dohira
She played such deception and married him,
And every body was left tongue-tied and ignorant of the enigma.(23)(l)

Tale of Sukmaar Mati
Dohira
In the city of Bukhara, there lived a Raja called Mool Chand.
He was so handsome that it seemed Brahma had created another Moon.(1)
He had a wife named Hussan Jehan and she was extremely pretty.
Sukmaar Mati was her daughter who was adept in good deeds.(2)
She had also given birth to a son called Shubh Karan.
He was famous in the world for his gallantry and comely looks.(3)
(434)

He was proficient in trickery and astuteness.


He was like a puppet and none other could match him.(4)
Chaupaee
Both, the brother and the sister, attained adulthood and the Raja
breathed his last.
Hussan Jehan became widow and was tormented without her
husband.(5)
The ministers had counsel and informed (the queen), ‘Your son will
take over the crown.
‘You shed your sorrow and spend your life with your daughter.’(6)
When many years had gone by, the rule was proceeding normally,
And the mother found the son reigning successfully; she tried to
forgetthe Raja.
Dohira
All those woman, Gandharabh, Nagni, Prabha and Bilokat,
Goddesses, Witches, who came across him were charmed.(8)
Acquiescing to his praises they all appreciated,
And sacrificed even their ornaments over him (the prince).(9)
Arril
‘If we get such a prince, we will sacrifice our lives now and hereafter
on him.
‘We will hug him and would never let him go away.’( 10)
All those damsels of the town, whenever they saw him wished to fly
and take him in their arms.(1l)
Listening to the adorations of the Raja, females attained bliss,
And they seemed to be prepared to sacrifice their lives.
They were jovially imagining, ‘One day we will secure the Prince,
‘And then we will forever keep him in our heart.(14)
Dohira
Sukhmaar Mati was sister of that Prince,
She appreciated her brother and fell in love with him.(1 5)
Chaupaee
Every day she would contemplate that the Kumar might revel with me.
The brother’s honour prevented (such thought) and so did the respect
in the community.(16)
Criterion of decency hindered her but her mind encouraged her how
(435)

to get hold of the Prince.


She thought of the trick through which she decided to ravage the
righteousness of the Prince.(17)
she disguised herself as a prostitute and she adorned her hair with the
pearls.
She embellished in such a way that it appeared that all stars were
spread on her hair.(18)
Nibbling the beetle-nut she arrived at the royal-court and earned the
adoration of all the people sitting there.
She gave the Raja the cherished looks as if hitting him with the arrows
of love.
The Raja was enticed and was pierced with her gaze.
‘I will invite her tonight and will make heartfelt love with her.’(20)
When the day passed, he called the princess over.
He made love with her and did not realise the enigma.(21)
Dohira
Cuddling and embracing the prince enjoyed the sex,
And could not discern the difference between the brother and sister.(22)
Sortha
He enjoyed the sex accordingly, without understanding,
As, at the end, the girl had tricked the youthful Raja.(23)
Chaupaee
She had disguised herself, embellished with ornaments and, then,
reveled sexually with the prince night and day.
When one cannot recognise the one who is after one’s wealth, then,
that one is not worth calling a ruler.(24)(1)

Jehangir.
He captured his country and earned the title, Sikander the great.(2)
Then he killed the King, Dara, and started his raids towards Hindustan.
There he won over the Raja of Kanaka Bijou and, who so ever faced
him, he annihilated.(3)

Then, beating the drums, he espoused the daughter of Kanoj.( 4)

deer to attain musk.
Then he travelled to the country of Bengal.
The one who was humble was saved and the rest were destroyed.(5)
After winning Bengal, he went over to the country of the people with
large ears.
Wining over them he felt satiated.
Then he took over the one legged ones,
And commenced his journey towards the south.(6)
After destroying the country of Bidharb, he marched towards Bandhel
With sword in his hand, he went forward to destroy their emblem.
Then he cut into pieces the countries of Maharashtra and Tilingana.
All the brave kings were returned their lands after they had accepted
his suzerainty.
Thereafter he dcfeated the country of Dakhshan, the south and headed
(443)

towards the west.


Arril
He won over Barbreen and defeated Bahu Saleen.
Burnt the Arabic Countries and then punished Durban.
Millions of enemies he finished in no time.
He annihilated those of the countries of Hinglas, Habshi and Halthi.(8)
After capturing all the three directions, he marched towards the North.
He took all the accomplices (defeated Rajas) with him and beat the
drums of war.
The Rajas of various countries, along with their armies,
Had joined Sikander on his raids.(11)
Chaupaee
Primarily he invaded Balakh and plundered Bukhara.
Then he went with the beats of his drums to Tibet and won it over.(13)
Arril
He took over Kashmir, Kaskar along with Kabul,
And then ravaged Kastwar, Kulu, Kahlur, Kainthal,
And the country of Kamboj and all those difficult ones.
Then in fury he marched towards China.(14)
Dohira
He decided to trample the country of China.
But he was met with the Raja who had come along with his
daughter.(15)
After winning over China, he decided to retire,.
And thought in his mind to head towards the sea.(16)
He conquered fourteen regions as if he took whole earth under his
domination.
Then he decided to go towards the country of Russia.
Bir Sen was the king of Russia and was from the lineage of Ruder (Shiva).
When he heard Sikander had come, he raised huge fury.(20)
Then was ensued a big fight and no person was spared the injuries.
When the Russian lost, they planned a strategy and invited a Devil.(21)
Although the demon was very old, he was looked young,
As if a crocodile had emerged from the sea.(22)
Chaupaee
He annihilated so many intrepid ones that I cannot count.
(444)

If! mention their names, then I need a separate Granth.(26)


He never moved and just stood at one place.
He killed all the accomplices and Sikander began to tremble.(8)
The woman, which the Raja had given to him,
She came disguised as a man and went forward to combat the devil.(29)
First she shot on him an arrow then thrust a spear.
But when the demon saw her beautiful face, he did not kill her.(30)
He brought her and handed over to the Russians and then jumped
back to the war.
Like a storm he pounced and killed many foes.((32)
Chaupaee
Sikander felt apprehended and called his Minster, Arastoo.
He called an astrologer named Bali Naas as he was very much
dreaded.
Dohira
Bali Naas told the Emperor, ‘You can yourself put a noose in the
neck of the devil.
‘Without your own participation, the victory is not possible.’(37)
Dohira
Acquiescing to the advice, he made up his mind.
Laced with bow and arrows he went and tied him up with the rope.(38)
He, the devil was served hearty meals by the Emperor and his ropes
were untied.
Immediately he ran to the Russians and brought the (same) woman
back.(39)
Dohira
Seeing the beauty of the woman, the Emperor was fascinated.
With beatings of the drum he made her his own woman.(40)
Then he went to the place where aabe-hyaat, the immortal nectar,
was prevalent,
And abandoning all his other queens he kept her as his consort.,(41)
At night this woman would adorn his bed and during day fight the
enemies.
One who gets such a woman, why would he go after the ones who
are nincompoops.( 42)
They enjoyed variable lovemaking, and he enhanced her status from
a slave to the queen.
(445)

He kept herwith him all the time and, where the nectar was available,
he went there.(43)
Dohira .
He reached there where the spring of the nectarous water was. Where,
even a dead fish would come alive if thrown in it.( 44)
Chaupaee
Lord Indra then recalled his minister and told that Sikander had found
the nectar.
If he became an immortal then he will go and ravage all the fourteen
regions.( 45)
Dohira
‘We must conduct some resolve so that,
‘He becomes too old and could not drink the nectar.(46)
Arril
They called in a fairy called Rambha.
She went there and sat disguised as an old bird.
There were no wings left on her body,
And she looked awfully ugly.( 47)
Dohira
As soon as Sikander tried to drink,
She came forward and laughed gigglingly.( 48)
Chaupaee
Then he asked the bird, ‘Oh, my dear, why did you laugh.
‘You tell me truthfully and eliminate my affliction.’( 49)
Dohira
‘Not a single wing has left on me and no blood is running through.
‘I am Utterly suffering but surviving as I have drunk this
inauspiciouswater.’(50)
Chaupaee
‘Good luck, you must drink this nectar and, like me live for ever.’
Hearing this, Sikander was terrified and thought, the water he was
going to drink was not nectar but poison.(5l)
Dohira
Sikander, the great, who was immune to the trickery, was duped,
(446)

And now it concludes this episode of the narration.(52)( 1)

Tale of Chhat Chhail Kumari
Chaupaee
Bir Ket was the Raja of a City; he was famous all over the world.
Chhat Chhail Kumari was his wife; she had won over her husband
through mind, body and soul.(l)
One day the Raja started on a hunting spree and he took many maids
with him.
He came to a jungle and with his dogs caught many deers.(2)
He ordered, ‘Any body who comes face ro face a deer, should run
after that.
‘He should go and injure it and never dread of falling from the horse.’
Arril
A deer came in front of the Rani and she started to pursue it.
The he-deer ran and ran and went far away.
The son of another Raja galloping his horse came by.( 4)
He reached the place where he had hit the deer with an arrow and
killed it.
Seeing the feat of the Raja’s son she was pierced by his love arrows,
And fell flat and became unconscious.(5)
Then with great efforts she got up like a dauntless person,
Both began to clean themselves and in the meantime a lion walked
in.(6)
On seeing the lion she was terrified and she took him in her hold.
The brave prince did not fear and kept his pasture.
He threw such forceful arrow and the lion was killed there and then.(7)
After killing the lion they remained there steadily,
And kissing and cuddling kept on squeezing each other.
They rejoiced and made love erotically,
And she sacrificed herself without any monetary gains.(8)
The lady thought, ‘Why should I not go away with him,
‘And not show my face to my master.
‘I should play a trick so that I am not criticised from both the sides. ‘(9)
She took a maid confidence and told her to tell (the Raja),
Chasing the deer she has drowned.’
(476)

The maid went back and conveyed the news bur did not mention
about the Kumar.(10)
She went away with Kumar to seek the contentment.
Hearing the news of her drowning the Raja was filled with gloom.
Ladies deception, no one can acquiesce,
And that is what all the Shastras, Simritis and Vedas has specified.(11)
The boy had taken the woman home and enjoyed lovemaking.
The foolish Raja did not discern and lost the woman.(l2)(l)

The Raja married another woman and she became pregnant.(2)
That Rani, Beer Mati, gave birth to a son.
He was given the name of Biagher Ket and the priests were given
plenty of offerings.(8)
That woman was very much worried as the first four were eligible for
the throne.
(She thought,) ‘If all of those were exterminated then my son would
become the Raja.’( 4) ,
She sent a messenger to eldest son to say, ‘The Raja has summoned you’
When the prince came she killed him and threw him in the dungeon,(5)
Then she called the second one and cut him with a sword.
Similarly she called the other two and threw them in the cold and
dark room.(6)
Dohira

After killing all the four sons she called the Raja over,
And she requested with tears flowing from her eyes,(7)
‘Listen, my dear King, your two sons were killed in the fight,
‘God’s wrath be on the enemy, I fell down and became unconscious.
‘They fought very bravely and they were dead,
‘Your other two sons tore their clothes, became ascetic and went
away.’(9)

He used to call them in turn to make love by hugging and kissing.(2)
But Sri Ruch Raaj Kumari always felt apathetic,
And she contemplated in her mind to terminate the other Ranis.(3)
Arril
First, she enhanced her love with all the Ranis so much that the Raja
was pleased too.
He praised her and appreciated that, ‘Even in this age of Kalyug, she
loved the Co-wives.’(3)
She built a straw-Cottage at the banks of the river and told the co-wives,
‘Listen, my fiends, we all will go there together, and will collectively
(478)

revel in sex.(5)

messenger to the Raja,
‘Oh my dear Master, please you come here and rejoice with us by
making love.’(6)
She brought all the co-wives along with their maids to that place.
She shut the door and put the house on fire and through such a trick
burnt them alive.(7)

‘You are just sitting and your palace have burnt down.’(8)
‘Now you come, go there and try to save your Ranis from the fire.

And there was left no one who could reveal the secret to the Raja.(l2)(l)

(The Prince Talk)


‘Never fell in love with the strangers, and don’t involve with them in
conversation.
‘Why should one fall in love with the travellers as it diminishes soon
and leaves behind a heart-broken.(17)
‘We, the sons of the Raja, are always moving around from country to
country.
‘We encounter all, the high and the low.
‘Tell us, the woman, why would you love us.
‘We will go away and you will remain stuck in our love.’( 19)

‘Oh, my love, you do whatever you may,
‘But I will never abandon your companionship.
‘I have been imbued in your love and if our woman could not gain
you, she will expire.’(2l)
Listening to the maid like that, he accompanied the lady to the place,
Where Manjri had, with her own hands, bedecked a bed with flowers
all around.(22)
The young man came forward holding mace and, then, frolicked in
love with the Rani in various ways.
He implied eighty four positions and made love with the Rani.(23)
In the meantime the Raja came by and the Rani injured him with the mace.
With one stroke she killed the Raja and, then, she played the trick.(24)
She threw away the Raja down a dilapidated palace and started to
wail very loudly.
And saying, ‘My Raja has expired, Oh, God, what have you done,’
she fell down.(25)
Hearing the news of the Raja’s death, people came in.
Digging out, under the bricks they found him and all his body was broken.
Not a single bone was spared and through this deception, the woman
had committed such an action.(26)
Every body thought he had died by coming under the falling buildIng.
No one acquiesced the reality.
The people with the turbans of condolence came but the Rani went
on revelling with the young man.(27)(1)

its Raja.

beauty.(1)
Arril

of Lord Indra, the Moon, the Sun and the Cupid.
Which ever woman saw him with her own eyes, she would forget all
the norms of modesty.(2)
Chhab Maan Manjri was the daughter of a Shah and she was the
epitome of the Moon.
When she saw Raja Chatar Ket, she felt as if the Cupid had taken over.(3)

the norms of humility.
She was pierced through the arrows of separation and felt like a black-
bee roaming around the flowers.( 4) .
In the morning she would see the Raja first and only then go to have
sip of water.
She would keep eyes stuck on the Raia and desired,
‘Oh, Raja, please take me and make love to me.’(5)
One day the Raja came across the woman and thought, ‘The woman
must have fallen in love with me.
‘Whatever this Woman desires, I must fulfil it.
If she begs for love, even then I will accord.’(6)
Chaupaee
The Raja mused on the Idea but did not divulge it to the woman.
The lady became very impatient and she sent a maid to that side.
‘Oh, My Good Raja, I am pierced with your love and listen to me attentively.
‘You make love with me cuddling and embracing and quench my
sexual urge.(8)
(482)

When the Raja heard this message, he replied through a letter,


‘First you kill your husband and then come and rejoice with me.’(9)
Whatever the maid was told she conveyed to the lady.
‘If you kill your husband, then the Raja will frolic with you.’(l0)
Dohira
(She thought,) ‘The Raja has asked me to slay my husband.
‘Then, after finishing him, I will go and live in his house.’(l1)

After listening to all this, the woman resolved,
‘1 will terminate my husband and then I will go and live with the
Raja.’(l2)

made love.(l3)

holding a sword, he came forward.

Chaupaee
This way she annihilated her husband and, then, started to wail loudly.
She had hit her head severely and told the people.(l5)
‘He slipped his foot and my husband fell in the stream.
‘If there were some swimmer nearby, my husband would have not
drowned. What has God done to me?’(16)
‘I cannot face anybody now and will confine myself to meditation.’
Declaring thus, she went to a friend’s house and at night slipped to
the place of her paramour.( 17)
Dohira
Announcing thus, she went away to the friend’s house,
And the people thought she was indoor meditating.(l8)
Arril
After killing her companion she had gone to the Raja and the people
thought that she was at home contemplating,
And, in the remembrance of her husband, she was staying indoor
and reciting the praises of the Lord.(l9)(1)

Chitar Manjri was his queen; she was so pretty, as if, she had been
churned out of milk of ocean.(l)
Dohira
She had four co-wives living in the same palace.
Inder Ket was their son, whose comely looks were the embodiment
of the Sun.(2)
In the household of Chitar Manjri, there was no son,
And she was always scorching in the fire of jealousy.(3)
Chaupaee
The one, who was favourite of the Raja, had no son either.
She developed affection with him and praised him a lot.(5)
Once when the prince came home, she gave him food laden with
poison.
She finished him off, went to the Raja and said,(6)
Dohira
‘He was not a drug-addict that he should have stayed put in the morning.
‘He was sober and, while I was observing, he cast away his soul!.’(7)
Chaupaee
This woman condoled excessively, trembled and shook in remorse.
Fluttering and stuttering she spoke thus,(8)
‘If you say, my sovereign, I want to tell something which, I am
afraid to, say, may ruin the kingdom.
‘Bhaan Chhata has given poison to your son and I have come to tell
you that.(9)
‘Don’t mention my name and you go there quick and save your son.
“If Bhaan Chhata listens to our conversation, then she will destroy
(484)

our love.’(10)
Harkening to her, Raja got up and, immediately, went there where he
found his son lying dead on the ground.
He wailed and wailed and threw his turban on the ground.(11)
Dohira
Neither he was an intrepid nor a drug-addict that he could fight (the death)
Immediately after eating, that teetotaller had fallen down and died.(l2)’
Then the Raja pulled the Rani from her hair,
He did not distinguish between false and true and sent her to the
domain of death.(l3)
She eliminated her co-wife, killed the Raja’s son and then loved the Raja.
Even Brahma and Vishnu could not understand the trickery of the
women.
Rani Talk
‘Listen, my Raja, I was scared of the destruction of your sovereignty.
‘Although he was son of my co-wife still I loved him.’(15)
Chaupaee

He enhanced his love for her and disregarded all the other Ranis,(l6)(l)

In the East there was a world famous city called Khanmbawat.
Roop Sen was the Raja of the place from whom no enemy had ever

Madan Manjri was a woman there; her splendour was the embodiment
of the Moon.
She had, as if, stolen the eyes of a deer, and her articulation was the
epitome of a nightingale.(2) .
The Raja was a drug-addict and revelled with women in diverse ways.
He used to take opium and cannabis and relished to have fifty cup-
full of them.(3)
Arril
Eclectically, he would enjoy love making with the Ranis,
And there were innumerable methods he adopted in rejoicing the
lovemaking.
All the four watches of the day he would frolic and whom so ever he
romped with he would let her fully enthral.( 4)
(488)

There was one woman called Sri Ras Tilak Manjri, she was famous
for her prosperity.
Her husband Shah thought himself to be very prudent, and never
drank liquefied cannabis.
He got angry whenever he observed any Rani savouring the
cannabis.(6)
Chaupaee
Whenever he came across a man drinking cannabis, he would not
even stand near him, (and think,)
‘These addicts are disrupters of their lives and cause the ruin of their
households.(7)
‘Those who take drugs, their lives are destroyed,
‘And the teetotallers, they retain their senses and prosperity.’(8)
When the Tilak Manjri heard his stance about the drugs, she came to him,
‘What the hell are you talking about? The teetotallers are like the
donkeys.
Chhand
‘The Raja who does not use drugs, he cannot revel with woman, and
the brave person who relishes opiates, cuts the heads of the foes.
‘Those ascetics, who enjoy drug, they achieve the Krishna, the God.
‘What good is the taste of narcotics to the teetotallers?’
Woman Talk
‘Those who take drugs, they get involved in Godly prayers.
‘Those who eat cannabis, they don’t depend on any body.
‘The brave people who take drugs, they have good luck written on
their foreheads.
‘Only those can relish cannabis who are carrying the weighing-
balances (of their luck)’
Chaupaee
Hearing such talk, the Shah became furious.
He beat her up and asked why had she said so.(17)

‘If you allow, 1 will tell you the truth as 1 am scared of you.
‘I want to tell you about the tradition, which comes in your
inheritance.’( 18)

‘’Then why did he come to this world? All the gods and the demons
make fun of him.(l9)

‘Those who take opium, their minds remain unabsorbed.
‘Those who do not revel In narcotics, their alms are wasted.
‘Those who don’t enjoy drugs, they can’t indulge In benevolence.

‘The takers of the intoxicants make love till the afternoons and vaulting
like deer they give pleasure to women.
‘But a teetotaller, immediately after commencing, starts shaking and
falls flat, and his semen is dispelled without him, the fool, performing
the sax.(24)
‘His semen is emitted on the floor and, with mouth wide-open, he
watches the woman and then hangs his head down.

and they marry the fairies and depart for the heavens.(26)
‘Those who come in the world and earn praises, are lucky, and
annihilate the fools to earn the honours.
‘They are the ones who, through the drugs, become capable of
adorning their bodies with bow and arrows.(27)
‘The one who has never eaten a beetle-nut and taken drugs never
went on hunting and has never comforted the poor,
‘Never applied perfumes to his body, never enjoyed music, and never
had sex with a woman, why has such a man come to this earth.(28)
‘One who has relished the music, and the female company, enjoyed
the drugs, indulged in hunting, battered the bad people,
‘Served the savants and worshipped the godly name, such persons
depart from the world beating the drums of triumph.’(29)
The clever woman made him to understand in many ways but the
foolish husband could not acquiesce and became angry.
He got hold of the witty woman, hit her with whip and then she stood
up and tricked like this.(30)
She became unconscious, fell flat and bewailed and, then, the husband
took her in his arms.
(Husband,) ‘By rescuing you, I have earned millions, now tell me
what can I do for you?’

She deceived the Raja and let him take the drug too.(34)
The Raja became lively with the effect of the cannabis; but the
teetotaller (Shah) went to sleep. ‘
He (Raja) became amicable to the woman and felt desire of making love.(35)
After serving food to the people she said, ‘I will keep Raja with me

She captivated him so much, as ishe had bought him outright, and
the woman made fully contented love.(37)
The Shah kept lying there, unconscious as if the devil had hit him
hard.
Like animals, he was neither getting up nor moaning whereas, on the
other hand, the Raja was constantly revelling in sex.(38)
Dohira
She tied the Shah underneath the palanquin,
And whatever wealth they had in the house she took with her.(39)

She quickly entered inside that palanquin and revelled with Raja,
sexually, to attain bliss.
The Raja brought that woman to his house and let the teetotaller remain
tied underneath.( 40)

Dohira
The Emperor said,’Oh, you the cleaver thief, listen to me,
‘You tell me how did you manage to steel the horse.’(19)

into the water.
She addressed the people and jovially told the Emperor,(23)
‘This is the way I had taken the first horse,
‘And now, after cheating you, I am taking the second one.’
Then Sher Shah lamented, ‘Oh, What happened to my acumen?
‘Taken in like this, I have lost my horse myself.’(24)
Dohira
Swaran Manjri, after stealing and dressing both horses, gave them to
her friend.
The Raja’s son, Chittar Burn, was very happy and espoused the
woman.(26)
And revelled heartily with the lady who had deceived Sher
Shah.(27)(1)

well.’

flat.
Being too fat he could not get up and the slim one ran away fast.(l0)
When the foolish-man got up after some time, she came and fell on
his feet.
‘If you have found any fault in me, then you may chop my head off.(11)

love forcibly.(15)
‘Now you set a trial for me to eliminate doubt from your mind.
‘You watch an earthen-lamp filled with (my) urine and jovially make
love with me.’(l6)
She went and urinated in one vessel in which she had already put
some oil.

excessively.’(l7)
As the vessel was over filled with urine, some went out on the floor.
‘Your fury is so dreadful that my soul is even scared.(18)
She lit the same lamp in which, she had told her husband, there was urine.
That imbecile could not discern and appraised her as virtuous wife.(19)
Fully contented, he expressed, ‘I have perceived your righteousness,
‘Now 1 have become your serf and what ever you command I will
abide by.(20)
‘In the urine, you have lit a lamp, it is miracle.’
With a scarf of humility he bowed at her feet and rubbed his nose
there through out the four watches (of the day).(21)

or, today, I have observed with my own eyes.
‘Oh, my lady friend, this is the true feeling which I am expressing to
you.(22) ,
Chaupaee
‘Now I will obey all your commands and fetch water like a slave’
The woman hugged him happily but the simpleton could not fathom
the secret.(23)
With great blessedness the woman spoke ‘Oh, My Master, now you
prepare the sanctified foods.
‘First you serve the priests and then, come to my bed.’(24)

bed.(25)

meals to the priests.(26)

marijuana even by mistake,
He was duped by the woman through this trick.(27)

impressed her piety upon him.(28)

(In the town of) Daula Kee Gujrat there used to lIve a great number
(510)

of people.
All the four classes, high castes, low-castes and the chieftains,
domiciled the place.(l)
Chaupaee
A woman called Mati Lahore was well known there; she was bestowed
with intelligence of a Kashatri dame.

destinations.
In that house a man called Malik used to live and the woman aspired
to have sex with him.(3)

kissing
and cuddling would feel contentment.
Frolicking like this she became pregnant, and she departed to follow
the route her husband had taken.(4)
Chaupaee
‘Without my husband I remained in affliction and that is why my
whole body is aching.
‘Without your permission I have come because without your company
cannot survive.’(5)

her consistently.
Then the woman told him, ‘Through you, My Master, I have become
pregnant.’(6)
‘I am fully immersed in your love and I adore you,
‘And to be with you I took my way to come to you.(7)
‘Oh, My Master, whatever you say, I will do.
‘You may unsheathe the sword to kill me, I will not protest at all.’(8)

delighted.(9)

Tale of Seven Maidens
Chaupaee
A Raja had an extremely pretty wife who was known as Chitar Manjri.
Such a beauty had never been heard and seen earlier.(l)
Aghat Singh was the Raja of that place; the Creator had not created
one like him before.
Only He, Himself, could realize His exaltation as thousands of
goddesses and she-demons were enchanted by his looks.(2)
Dohira
The consorts of the humans, reptiles, Kinners (half human, half horse),
demons and gods,
All felt enticed visioning the stature of the Raja.(3)
The Raja was very fond of hunting and he attended to his reigning
duties sparsely.
Once a deer started to run and he commenced to chase riding on his
horse.(4)
He kept on trailing behind, as he did not want to abandon.
He came across a thick jungle whose fright could not be described.(5)
There were plenty of pine and cypress trees along with those of lemon
and orange, surrounded by banyan trees with lot of roots.
Along with fig, palm and date trees, there were the ones producing
plums, coconuts and pomegranates.(7)
Flowers of rose and Nargis were thriving
And it was looking like(Lord) Indra’s Nanadan Garden; there was
none like that in the world.(8)
A serene rivulet passed through that jungle and there were many
springs around.
It was so much praised that it could not be narrated.(9)
The Raja reached that place whose glorification was beyond
(512)

expression.
He killed the deer there where the offspring of the gods and demons
were watching.(l0)
Dohira
The daughters of the gods and demons used to look after the place.
They loved the place like their best friends.(11)
Chaupaee
Both, the kind and the adverse, ladies used to come there and shower
Love.
They always allured the damsels to come there as the dancers danced
there, incessantly.(12)
They were endowed with unique beauty, which could not be expressed
even by a poet.
On their sight one would forget to blink one’s eyes.(l3)
Chaupaee
When the Raja had a look at them, he was astonished.
With great affection he crossed his vision with them like a legendry
partridge falls for the Moon.(l4)
Dohira
Seeing the magnanimous looks of the Raja, they fell in love as
well,
And all of them felt the creep of modesty passing through them.(l5)
They all suddenly stood still like a necklace of diamonds.
They aspired to utter but their humility checked them and they kept
on coming nearer.(l6)
They sacrificed all their ornaments and precious clothes for sake of
the lover.
Some came forward with flowers and some lilted variant songs.(l7)
Dohira
Acquiescing to the exaltation of the Raja, all the ladies felt affection
for him.
And immediately prepared themselves to sacrifice all their
ornamentations and silk robes.(l8)
Impressed with his countenance, all the ladies of the god and godesses
felt satiated.
The women folk, all the humans and reptiles fell for him.(20)
(513)

While looking at him all the ladies were thinking,


‘Either we would achieve him today or a war would be ensued
here.’(21)
The daughters of demons declared that they would secure him and
the daughters of the gods swore to attain him for themselves.(22)
Chaupaee
One lady disguised herself as Vishnu and the other Brahma.
One of them became Shiva and the other, Dharamraja.(24)
One cloaked as Indra and the other as the Sun.
One pretended to be Moon and the other the eliminator of the Cupid’s
ego.(25)
Arril
Seven women came forward disguised like those and let the Raja had
their glimpse.
‘Come Raja take all these seven daughters and, after defeating the
armies of the foolish, go and reign.’(26)
Chaupaee
When the Raja observed their glamour, he fell upon their feet.
His felt tremendous heartache and suddenly became unconscious.(27)
When regained a bit of consciousness, he again jumped at their feet,
I am fortunate enough to have the glimpse of all the gods.(28)
Dohira
‘With the touch of your feet, I am changed from a sinner to a righteous
person.
‘I was a destitute and, thank God, through you I have become a Raja.(29)
Chaupaee
‘I will abide by whatever you say while keeping my sight glued to
your feet.
‘You have raised me from a pauper to protector of the paupers through
your vision.’(30)
Listening to this, they all vanished and reappeared as the seven queens
of the sovereign.
They approached the Raja, and requested, ‘Get married with us all
here today.’(31)
Dohira
(514)

When they made such an offer, that imbecile did not comprehend,
And considering their request as celestial, he immediately wedded
them.(32)
Then the drums and trumpets were beaten there where the ladies of
humans and the reptiles were singing.
Dohira
And there at that place, seven ladies, through deception, misled the
Raja.
Now, this anecdote ends here and a new story commences.(34)
Those women revelled with the Raja in various ways,
And through Koka Shastra made love using varied means.(35)(1)

Tale of Aligunj Mati
Chaupaee
Once there was a Raja called Neal Ket who was very magnanimous.
Bachiter Manjri was his wife; she was an embodiment of Cupid’s
consort.( 1)
He had a daughter called Aligunj Mati who had won the acclaim as
the Moon.
Her resplendence could not be narrated as she was created by
Himself.(2)
There was (another) Raja known as Honourable Tilak Kumar who
has been endowed sovereignty.
His stature was beyond commendations and, even, the Sun waited
on him.(3)
Vijay Chhand
Once Aligunj Mati, along with her mates came to stroll in the avenues
of the garden.
Enticed by the splendid features of a Raja, she felt entangled.
Despite feeling chaste, she kept her eyes affixed on him.
Although she returned to her house, she forsook her heart there.(4)
(515)

Back home, she signalled and called over a pretty friend and tried to
make her to comprehended.
To make her to agree she fell upon her feet and massaged her arms and
Begged her to arrange her meeting possible, failing which she would die.(5)
‘Oh’ My Friend, without meeting him I w1l1 become a destitute, and
I will put on saffron clothes and go round holding a begging-bowl.
‘I will convert my eyeballs to receive alms, but will be satiated by
seeing him.
‘Oh. God, why don’t I abandon my body because I cannot relish his
company duringthis overcast (romantic) atmosphere.(6)
‘On the one side thousands of peacocks are chanting.
‘The laughing frogs and little raindrops are making me burn with (passion).
‘The sounds of the crickets and the sparks coming out of the lighting
are piercing through my heart.
‘My soul is still eluding as it has a hope of meeting the Master.’(7)
Arril
When the wise friend observed her in such a condition, she put her
ear on her heart and said smilingly,
‘You better get an astute maid and send her to get him here.’( 8)
Listening to this she felt a great reliefbut the fire of craving became
intense.
She called a clever maid and asked her, ‘Go and tell him to come and
rescue my life.’(9)
Dohira
As Soon as the maid received the order, she immediately went there,
Where Raja Mani Tilak had gone for hunting.(lO)
Chaupaee
The maid reached there and the Raja received the news.
She had embellished all her body and she looked like Moon among
the stars.(11)
She had decorated her head with semi-spherical ornaments and had
the flowery earrings on.
Round the neck she had pearly necklace and she had laced her tresses
with pearls too.(12)
When the Raja came and saw that lady, he was very much astonished.
‘Is she the daughter of a god or a devil or is she a human or a fairy?’(14)
(516)

Dohira
The Raja thought that he must inquire why had she come to his
Country.
‘Either she is the daughter of the Sun, or the Moon or the mammon’s
god.’(l5)
Chaupaee
He walked towards the maid and was gratified by her beauty.
He was perplexed to think, which god or devil’s daughter she could
be.(16)
She had a pearly necklace in which she had tagged the letter.
(She said,) ‘What you see in me is nothing, there are thousands more
even prettier, there.’(l7)
Dohira
The Raja was extremely delighted to see her so attractive features.
He lost the consciousness of his own household and felt ravished.(l8)
Then, what he found among the rubies, he took out, read and lamented,
‘What she is, it is said, there are seven hundred more like her.(l9)
‘When I observe her beauty candidly, only then I will consider my
life as successful.
‘If I achieve such a woman, then I will never show my face to my
queens.’(20)
He picked her up on his chariot and took path to go to her.
Travelling and travelling, they reached the place where that woman
was waiting.(2l )
Dohira
The Raja abandoned his sovereignty, adopted the guise of an ascetic,
And took his position under her window while flaring the (ritual)
smoke.(22)
Chaupaee
The daughter of the Raja would come with alms and serve him to eat
with her own hands.
At, night, when the people had gone away, they would meet and
make love.(23)
By creating confidence among the people, the woman attained
contentment.
(517)

The people thought him just an ascetic and none recognised him as a
Raja.(24)
One-day, princess went to her father and talked very discourteously.
The Raja was very much annoyed and banished her from his
country.(24)
Hearing about the expulsion, she cried but, internally, she forsook all
her afflictions, .
‘God has been benevolent to me as I am exiled by my .father.’(26)
The Raja ordered the attendants, Take this girl away immediately.
‘Where there is thick and dreadful jungle, leave her there.’(27)
The servants took her to the jungle where that ascetic used to live.
They left her there and the Raja, who had disguised himself, came
there, too.(28)
First he loved her intensively and made love in various ways.
Then he took her on his horse and left for his own country.(29)(l)

Tale of Hans Mati
Chaupaee
Hans Dhuj was a renowned Raja and he was revered all over the world.
There used to live a woman called Kes Utma in his house; there was
none as pretty as she.(l)
They had a daughter known as Hans Mati who had read Koka and
other Shastras.
There was none as beautiful as she and even the Sun waited on her.(2)
Arril
That woman was adjudged as the prettiest one and there was none
other who could Surpass her beauty.
Her charm had no bounds and, even, the Sun, the Moon and the
Cupid felt shamed of themselves.(3)
That royal damsel when saw the face of a prince, she thought, ‘Such
a handsome man I have never come across.’
(518)

Whenever he entered a royal-court, all the women would feel their


hearts being stolen.
Chaupaee
The princess called a friend and with some perception she sent her
towards the prince,
‘Put millions of efforts, bring him here and 1 will give you what ever
desire for.’(5)
Arril
Seeing the condition of the Princess, the maid thought,
‘The princess might die, 1 must put in sincere efforts.’
Relinquishing all the fear, she reached there where, the prince was
seated majestically.(6)
Somehow she brought him but did not disclose the reason.
But when he reached there, the princess felt blissful.(7)
She came forward and, renouncing all modesty, asked him to make love
When he thought over the real purpose of love-making, considered
that to be the betrayal of righteousness.(8)
Dohira
‘You consider yourself beautiful, you had birth in a royal house-hold,
‘And, now becoming shameless, you want to make love with me?(9)
Chaupaee
(She,) ‘As soon as 1 saw you, 1 relinquished all the social etiquettes,
‘And disregarding the righteousness, prepared myself to betray my
honour for you.’(l0)
(Prince.) ‘Listen, Lady, 1 will never make love with you and remain
true to my faith.
‘When I was born at my parents, 1 was taught this lesson by the
Pundit priest,(11)
Dohira
‘Never to step into the sleeping-couch of an alien female, not even
by mistake.
‘Neither ever you show any inclination to have sex with her.(l2)
‘Now, I have seen your mean intentions and 1 will report to Raja
tomorrow.
‘I will get you apprehended from your house an get many reprimands
issued.( 13)
(519)

Dohira
‘I will reveal the secret to your father,
‘And, the liar, you will be banished like the a bitch.’(l4)
Chaupaee
When she heard being addressed as a bitch, agitating her head, she
depicted anger,
(And thought,) ‘First I will kill him then I will terminate his priest.(l5)
‘Somebody has taught you and that is why you are not revelling with me.
‘You fool, either you make love with me or abandon the desire for
living.’(16)
That imbecile, who never gave anything in alms, commenced to go
to his house.
Although he had passed obscenities, she fell down on his feet but he
knocked her with his leg.(17)
The daughter of the Raja flew into rage, ‘This fool has hit me.
‘To begin with I will beat him and then, later, I will kill his mentor.’(l8)
Arril
She took out a sharp sword and injured him there and then.
She pulled him through his leg and saddled herself over his body.(l9)
Dohira
While taking her seat there she started to play on a rosary,
And she sent her friend to call her father.(20)
Chaupaee
Hans Ket came there and was dreaded on seeing a body under his daughter
‘Oh, My daughter, what have you done? Without any offence you
have killed some body.’(21)
(Reply,) ‘I have learnt an incantation from the priest Chintamani, which
fulfils all the desires.
‘Through the recitation of this incantation if I kill a prince, all my
deeds will be accomplished.(22)
‘That is why I have finished him and you, my father, listen,
‘Only, while sitting here, incantation can be recounted and it is up to
you whatever you want to do.(23)
When all this went through his ears, the Raja flew in to rage,
And ordered to bring that priest who had given such an incantation.(24)
Immediately getting the order, the servant sprinted and brought that
priest to the Raja.
(520)

The pundit was reprimanded, ‘You have acted like a scoundrel.’(25)


The priest was astonished and with great fear said,
‘I have not done such a deed. I have never given any such guidance
to your daughter.’(26)
In the meantime, Raja’s daughter walked in and she bowed on the
feet of the priest,
‘The way you told me, I had repeated the incantation.(27)
Arril
‘With your order I have killed this man and orated over his body.
‘I repeated through out all the four watches of the night but I achieved
nothing and that is what I disclosed it to the Raja.(28)
Chaupaee
‘Why are you denying the fact now when you had made me to cram
the incantation?
‘Why don’t you tell the Raja the truth, do you get cramps for telling
the facts?’(29)
The priest was bewildered and prayed, ‘Oh God, why is this happening to me?’
He begged overwhelmingly but nothing would pacify the Raja as the
Raja had not unravelled the mystery.(30)
Dohira
The Raja felt outrageous and ordered assassination through hanging
of the person,
Who had given such an incantation to Hans Mati.(31)
The one, who did not make love, was injured and then priest was killed,
As Hans Mati, a good woman, had enraged the Raja.(32)(l)

They annihilated many enemies and served their subjects and the
hirelings.(5)
They won over many countries and defeated a number of Rajas.
They attained supremacy over many rulers.(6)
The first prince was a bit less able but the older was very enchanting,
And the women came from many countries in thousands to serve
them.(7)
Sortha
In no Country there was found a prince as comely as the young one.
He was like the Sun or the Moon or the raja of them both.(8)
When the mother perceived the son’s characteristics, she lost all her sanity.
She coveted to make love with him as she was overwhelmed by the
Cupid.(9)
After killing her husband and the elder son, she desired the sovereignty
for the younger one.
‘What trickery should I undertake so that I get the crown on the head
of the second son.(10)
One day she invited her husband, served him wine and made him to sleep.
Then she called the elder Son and served him excessive wine too.(11)
Dohira
First she put both the husband and the son to sleep and then unsheathed
(522)

the sword.
For sake of her younger son, she killed them both.(12)
Chaupaee
After killing the son and the husband, she shouted, ‘Father has killed
the son and the son has killed the father,
‘As both were over inebriated by drinking too much wine.(13)
‘They both took out swords and flew into rage.
‘The father hit son’s head with the sword and the son hit father’s
head.’(14)
‘Standing there I watched all this, why didn’t I become blind?’
‘They could not use the shielding tactics and both faced the death.(l5)
‘What should I do now? Should I kill myself with a dagger?
‘Should I become an ascetic and go to live in the jungle or let my
younger son put crown on his head?’(16)
In fact she annihilated her husband and the son and, then, secured
sovereignty for the younger son.
There after she put the garb of an ascetic and travelled towards the North.(17)
Dohira
There she worshipped Shiva through many courses.
Seeing her determination, Shiva was much gratified.(18)
Chaupaee
He said to her, ‘Whatever is there in your heart, you express it.’
(She,) ‘Oh, my benefactor, if you want to grant me a boon then turn
me into a damsel. ‘(19)
With the boon from Shiva the woman became a young girl.
She abandoned the old body of a woman like the slough of a snake.(20)
Dohira
After changing into a young girl from an old lady, she travelled to
her city.
There, the prince had gone for hunting and had killed bears.(2l)

clothes.
Masquerading as a she-deer, she came there where the son was
hunting.(22)
The son started to chase her but no one noticed,
And, all alone, entered the dreadful and thick jungle.(23)
She abandoned the guise of she-deer and turned in to a pretty lady.
(523)

She charmed him with her beauty and earned his affection.
Arril
He thought’ Is she a human, goddess, witch , reptile or Just a woman
from the mountains?.
‘Is she a ministrel, a fairy or the consort of the Sun, the Moon or Lord Indra?’
Seeing her, the prince was enticed, came nearer and asked,
‘Reptile, human or mountainous, from which have you come
our?’(27)
Dohira
‘Through my mind, body and soul, being allured by your chritar, I
am trammelled.
‘Immediately you become my woman and come and live in my
household.(28)
Arril
To show off, she said no for a couple of times bur, internally, she was
swayed by her desire.
Firstly she had killed her husband and elder son and then, through
deception, took her younger son as a husband.(29)(1)

There was a noble Raja called Ahdhuj, who was like a second Sun on
the earth.
He had a Rani called Sri Mashook Mati, who was the epitome of the
Sun, the Moon and Lord Indra.(l)
She had no issues and this was causing her anxiety all the time.
She dreaded the Raja but made love with many men.(2)

his animals.
Back home, the husband woke up, took a sword and followed her.(5)
She had a wise friend, who envisaged the situation,
‘The husband would come to know, catch them and kill them.’(6)
She got up and went to that place where the Rani was meeting her
cowhand friend.
She pulled her through her limbs and conveyed her the predicament.(7)
Arril
She was drenched in the sea of fear and suffocated the boy by putting
her scarf around his neck.
She hung him on a tree and, then, taking her clothes off commenced
bathing her own body.(8)
In the mean time, the Raja Ahdhuj arrived there and saw her bathing
under a dead body.
He held her briskly, and, getting infuriated, asked her,(9)
Dohira
‘Oh, Woman, abandoning your house, why have you come here?
‘I will forgive you if you tell the truth, otherwise 1 will kill you.’(l0)
Chaupaee
The lady, then folded her both the hands and bowed at the husband’s
feet (and said),
‘My Sweetheart, please listen to me first and then you may take any
decision.(11)
‘I was strewn with worries and used to come here every day to pray.
“Oh, please, God, bestow me with a son so that I may expend
myself(for the Raja).”(12)
‘Aspiring to have a son, I came and had bath for a blessing
‘Believe me, this is the only truth but you may infer as the way it
pleases you.’(l3)
Dohira
Listening as such, the Raja was mollified( and thought),
‘The woman, who has dared to act like this, is worthy of reverence.(14)
(526)

Chaupaee
‘What the woman has expounded I have observed with my own eyes.
‘Oh, My Lady, what you have done to gain a son, is worthy of
worship.(15)
Dohira
‘Consequently you must be blessed with a handsome son,
‘Who will be resolute, meditator, devotee, truthful and brave.’(l6)
Arril
She had sex with him and then hung him on the tree, and, playing
such a trick, she deceived her husband.
That fool, instead of getting angry, let her go scot-free and, showering
praises up on the lady felt contentment.(l7)(1)

Tale of Mashook Mati
Arril
In the country of Kil Makan, Raja Inder Dhuj was renowned and Sri
Kilmak Mati used to live there as his Rani.(1)
Mashook Mati was their daughter who gleamed like the rays of the
Moon.(l)
Once there came a trader who seemed to be the incarnation of the Cupid.
The Creator had endowed him enough honours and, even, the gods
and demons felt blissful on his integrity.(2)
One day, fully adorned, the daughter of the Raja sat in the window,
When she saw the son of that trader, who enchanted the heart of the
damsel.(3)
His sight has entrapped her heart and she sent a maid (to him) with
great amount of wealth.
She asked her to bring the son of the trader and, for that, she promised
to reward her as much money as she asked for.( 4)
Acquiescing to her talk, the maid went and convinced the lover to
(527)

meet her.
Through eighty four postures, she attained the bliss and eliminated
all her afflictions.(5)
Both the man and woman were involved so intensely that they would
not Spare each other even for a moment.
They were feeling like a vagrant, who is suddenly bestowed with
enormous wealth.(6)
She disguised her maid as a man and sent her to his father to convey
this message,
‘Your son has died and I have seen this happening with my own
eyes.
‘He went away floating in the stream and no one came forward to
grasp his hand.’(7)
Hearing this the trader swiftly got up, went to the bank of the stream
and started blaring.
He roamed on the earth from hither to thither and, after abandoning
all his wealth, became an ascetic.(8)
Then the same maid went and told the boy, ‘Your father has become
an ascetic and has left for the jungle.
‘After squandering all his wealth, he has handed your custody to the
Raja.(9).
Disappointed at his father’s action he remained there and, while
enjoying the amenities there, he disregarded his country and the wealth.
He would perform the way the princess willed and, through this
deception, he was manoeuvred to remain there for ever.(10)
He abandoned the remembrance of his abode, surrendered his heart
to her,
But no one got the wind of this and the princess relished enormously
with the son of the trader.(ll)(l)

The woman was so fascinated by his looks that she was stunned.
Becoming insensate, she abandoned her husband’s cognisance.(3)
Chaupaee
An intelligent maid, who was there, fathomed the entire phenomenon,
Excusing the Rani, she went there and disclosed everything.( 4)
Jodh Karan did not concede and Naagar Mati felt shamed,
‘For whom I have sacrificed my heart, that fool has not endowed his
mind.(5)
Dohira
‘If he discloses my this intention to anyone,
‘Then Raja Ajay Chand will get cross with me,(6)
Chaupaee
‘And he may start showering his affections on other women.
‘What should I do? I am burning in the fire of passion,(7)
Dohira
‘Shall we play some trick and kill him today?
‘Through some sweet talks, he may be lured to death so that the Raja
may not suspect.(8)
Chaupaee
She gave lot of money to one maid, sent her there conspiring,
‘When you see Raja approaching, you get intoxicated with wine and
start showering abuses upon him.’(9)
When Ajay Chand arrived at the place, she pretended herself, gone mad.
She showered obscenities upon the Raja and made him to fly in
rage.(10)
(529)

Raja ordered,’ Apprehend her immediately and throw her down the house,’
She rapidly ran away and went into the house where Jodh Karan
lived,(11)
The rani was enraged and she ordered her army,
‘The one who has given protection to the Raja s adversary, must be
annihilated today.’(l2)
Dohira
The Raja was furious, too and he endorsed order,
‘Along with the maid, finish that fool too.’(l3)
Chaupaee
He commanded his artillery, ‘Bombard that house,
‘Decimate it and, then, come and let me know.’(l4)
Getting the Raja’s order, his servants reached there,
And without discerning the female-trickery, destroyed the house.(l5)
Chaupaee
No one can acquiesce to the deceptions of women and even the
Creator repented after creating her,
Shiva abandoned his abode and went into bewilderment, even then
he could not get the revelation of female chicanery:(l6)
Dohira
She conducted such a manoeuvre on the Raja that she got Jodh Karan killed,
The foolish Raja could not fathom the secret behind Chritar.(l7)(l)

Tale of Birah Kumari
Dohira
Bichan Sen Raja had a woman called Sulchan.
He was prominent Raja in the South; his coffers were full of wealth.(l)
Chaupaee
Birah Kumari was their daughter who was adept in Koka ane other
(530)

Shastras.
Various pundits of learning were full of her praises.(2)
Dohira
She was exceptionally pretty and appeared as if the Creator had created
her Himself.(3)
Even the fairies, nymphs and reptiles could not match her.
The dancers from the performing groups could not compete with
her.(4)
Among all the ladies of the Hindus, Muslims, gods and demons,
Even after thorough search, one like her was not traceable.(5)
The fairies from the Domain of lndra used to come to see her and
they were never satiated with her looks,
And they never even blinked their eyelids.(6)
Chaupaee
Looking at her, one fairy smiled and said to her companions,
‘She is so beautiful that there is none like her in the world.(7)
Arril
‘There is no one as exquisite as she, as even the trees on her way
become still,
‘If we come across a handsome prince, we let him be appeased,
‘And somehow, through some persuasion we could bring him to get
pleasure.’(8)
Dohira
One fairy hung her head and said, ‘There is one compatible man, and
I will find him and make them to meet.’(9)
Arril
The subordinate nymphs of the superior fairy adorned themselves,
took her permission and set out.
They searched all the countries but could not find handsome match
and then they met a hermit.(l0)
The hermit used to live in the jungle and there had never been such a
recluse there.
When he saw one fairy searching around at random, he asked her,(11)
Dohira
‘Oh, you the damsel, who are you? From where have you come and
where are you going?
(531)

‘Are you the consort of Lord lndra or that of Mammon’s,(l2)


Chaupaee
‘For what purpose have you come here or why have you been sent here?
‘Without revealing the truth I will not let you go, otherwise I will
shower you with a curse.’(13)
Arril
(Reply) ‘Please Munni, the hermit, listen, once a fairy had come
fleeting and was lured by the looks of the princess.
‘She thought to find a handsome boy to match her, the pretty one.(l4)
Chaupaee
‘Noble Muani, like me, she sent round thousands (of nymphs) in all
the ten directions.
‘They roamed around many cities but their efforts bore no fruits.’(l5)
Dohira
‘Searching out through out the world I was smitten.
‘You now suggest some resolve so that the task could be
performed.’(l6)
(Hermit,) ‘Brahma, the creator has begotten a man who has taken
birth in the house of a Raja.
‘He is far away over the seven seas, who could go there and fetch
him?’(l7)
Dohira
Listening to the sage, the fairy glided,
And instantly flew over the seven seas.(l8)
Chaupaee
The Raja had a magnificent palace; she reached there,
Where the son of the Raja was, she arrived there without delay.(l9)
She Put magical eye-lasher in her eyes with which she became invisible
although everything else remained corporeal to her.(20)
Arril
Where Daleep Singh was seated, with eye-lasher, she reached there.
She was totally entangled in his magnanimous looks and lost all her
awareness.(21)
Chaupaee
She forgot why had she come and remained there for a number of years.
(532)

After a long time when she regained consciousness, she felt ashamed,(22)
‘When the superior fairy learns all about this, she will chuck me out
of the heaven.
‘I must undertake some measures to make him (the Prince) to meet
that woman.’(23)
Where there was Royal Prince’s palace, she got an icon drawn there.
When the Prince saw that icon, he relinquished all his desire for
sovereignty.( 24)
Arril
After renouncing his supremacy, he would remain imbued in the
thought a of love (for the icon on the wall).
He would lament, yearn and conspire but could not achieve (her).(25)
‘Who is she? Is she a dancer or a queen? ‘Is she a human, a reptile,
from the mountains or an ordinary woman?
‘The offspring of Shiva, lndra, Sun or Moon, by exhibiting through
this icon, has filched my heart.’(26) .
Creating that icon in the house of that man, she left for the abode of
the princess.
There she created the icon of that prince and when the princess saw
that, she too abandoned her pre-eminence.(27)
Seeing his icon, princess was dumbfounded and forgot all the senses
for ruling, and the wealth.
Pierced by the arrows of the love, to whom could she go for
consolation?
And who would go and fetch her lover to meet her?(28)
Like an infatuated person, she strolled around and disregarded eating
and drinking.
Sometimes she felt relief and started singing,
And sometimes she wailed, and, thus, crying passed the nights.(29)
Day by day the princess started to get anaemic, because she could
not express about her pain of love.
Her lover was seven-seas away, who could go and fetch him.(30)
Now listen to the narration about that man and you must pay full
attention.
Lamenting and crying he passed his days but he could not get access
to that woman.(31)
Dohira
Here he was longing for her and there she was craving for him.
(533)

How could they meet each other? Only the Almighty knew.(32)
Arril
Disguised as a beggar, the fairy went to the Raja and told him the
story of the princess,
‘You adore her and she is yearning for you.
‘She is recollecting your name like a rain-bird.(33)
‘That princess lives seven seas away; she loves you intensively.
‘Tell through what means I could fetch her for you?
‘Please the Sophisticate Prince, please let me know how she can be
attained?(34)
‘I am labelled as the confidant of the superior fairy. Her love is the
epitome of the love for the Moon and the Sun.
‘When that woman saw your icon, she sent me to you immediately.(35)
Dohira
‘I have roamed around all the three domains and found that there is
none other like her.
‘Please, Prince, you are the only worthy match for her.(36)
Arril
‘Now I will proceed and go to the superior fairly and will tell her that
a suitable match has been found.
‘Oh, my Benefactor, after you have espoused her, what reward would
you give me?’(37)
Relating as such she flew away as she was patronised by Shiva, Indra
and the Sun.
She approached the superior fairy and narrated her the whole story.(38)
Dohira
‘Searching through all the three domains, I have found one genius.
‘Now you come with me to see as there is none like him any where.’(39)
Chaupaee
Listening to her all the fairies commenced flying and crossed the
seven seas.
When they saw Daleep Singh, they relinquished all their
afflictions.(40)
Extremely impressed by the looks of the prince, she was enticed,
(And thought,), ‘Why should I not myself espouse him,’ and discard
the princess from her thought.(41)
(534)

Chaupaee
That fairy shouted ‘Alas, alas’ and beat the ground with her head,
‘For whom I toiled hard, the Almighty has not let me meet.’( 42)
Dohira
The superior fairy declared, ‘Now I will go and take him.’
She had no perception of the agonies of the princess.(43)
The friendly-fairy (who had found him) said, ‘Listen, the Superior
Fairy, for the one for whom I strove hard,
‘You want to appropriate him and don’t want him to meet her (the
princess ).’( 44)
Chaupaee
‘Oh, my friendly-fairy what could the superior fairy do as she is
agonized by remaining detached.
‘Since I saw her anguished profile, I have relinquished the desire for
the heaven.’( 4S) I
Dohira
‘What should I do, where should I hide myself, my vision has
expanded and without seeing him I cannot survive.
‘Without his glimpse I do not feel any gratification.( 46)
‘Without his vision, a minute seems like a full watch,
‘And once a superior fairy, (she) is now reduced down to a slave.(47)
‘Whom should I approach and how to lament,
‘As I have no words to express.( 48)
‘Without meeting him my soul is departing away
‘And the desire for his glance has ridden my eyes with adversity.( 49)
‘My vision is so much thrust that it cannot be propelled, not for even
one second without the sight of the lover.
‘Wherever the eyes fell, they get stuck there, and they dare not
divert.(50)
Dohira
‘They are shaking and do not remain steady,
‘Once they capture (the sight of lover), they do not shift.(5l)
‘Looking into the eyes of the lover, my eyes have Sunk there.
‘They have abandoned me like a flying hawk and there is no chance
of coming back.(52)
(535)

Arril
‘The eyes which once plunge somewhere, remain there forever.
‘It is beyond my power now, tell me what should I do?’(54)
Chaupaee
When the efforts of all the friends and could not divert her attention,
They went to the Prince and conveyed him,(55)
‘Oh, you the Prince, the one for whom you are worthy,
‘That, our superior, wants to embrace you (as husband). (56)
When the Prince heard such suggestion, he replied comically.
‘I will rather die than accept to embrace the superior fairy.(57)
Chaupaee
‘In the fire of passion for the Princess I am scorching myself day and night.
‘What if she is superior fairy, I never relish her in my vision.’(58)
Chaupaee
(Reply,) ‘Please hearken to me and get married with the superior fairy.
‘What will you attain by marrying the Princess, why would you
sacrifice a comely one and accept an indecorous one?’(59)
Dohira
(Prince,) ‘The one with whom I have fallen in love, she is my consort.
‘There may be thousand others, celestial, devilish, fairies but I will
never accept them.’(60)
Chaupaee
When the fairies lost all hopes, the superior fairly hit upon another plan.
‘I will do what he says and I will win him over through some
deception.’(61)
She called the fairy, which she had sent to him in the first place (and
told her).
‘If you proceed the way I tell you, I will give you abundance of
wealth.( 62)
You make me to meet that Prince as I am obsessed to have his companionship.
‘If you succeed, then I will become your slave.’(63)
Arril
The fairy was pleased to hear this and immediately departed to go to
the Prince.
She fell on his feet and, with folded hands, begged,
(536)

‘With your permission I would like to plead,(64)


‘Oh, my Prince, primarily you address the fairy and holding her hand
lead her to your bed.
‘If she wants to make love, you just chat and make her to wait for
four or five hours.’( 65)
(‘You tell her,) “if you want to marry me, you must first arrange me to
mate that (Princess).
“Prior to my wedlock with her, I will not embrace you and kill myself
with a dagger through my chest.”(66)
Disclosing this secret to the Prince, she went back to the superior
fairy that had sent her to the Prince.
(And told,) ‘Through some means I have made Prince to consent and
he has agreed to accept you.’(67)
Chaupaee
That fairy brought along the superior fairy to the place where Prince
had laid his sleeping-palanquin.
The joss sticks were sprinkling incense and flag was hoisting on the
mast.(68)
Through this way she made her to meet the Prince and both sat down
on the bed.
The friend (fairy) slipped away and the Cupid’s urge over powered
her (the superior fairy).( 69)
When the desire for sex dominated her, she stretched hand towards
the Prince.
Then Prince articulated, ‘I say it and listen to my admonition.(70)
‘First you arrange my meeting with her (the Princess) and then you
can copulate with me.
‘First I will embrace that lady then you will become my paramour.’(7l)
Arril
She tried hard but he did not become benevolent although she
acquiesced to whatever he said.
She took him on her wings and brought him there where that woman
was waiting like a rain-bird.(n)
Now, whose icon she had seen and fallen in love, he was there before
her eyes.
The Prince she longed for, the Creator had brought and she felt as if
Spring had taken over the Autumn.(73)
(537)

Immediately on his sight, she arranged various viands for him.


She organized many intoxicants and savoured them while in the
company of the prince.(7 4)
She served lot of wine and then embraced him.
She prickled adopting many postures and pacified her passion.(75)
Dohira
Most satisfyingly, the woman made love with her sweetheart,
And in that wake she forgot the worship of Shiva.(76)
Chaupaee
The Princess accompanied the Prince after planning a strategy in her
mind.
She called menial lady and in her ears related the scheme.(77)
After making her to understand fully, she made her to take her place.
When her (Princess’s) friends saw her she told them,(78)
‘As 1 did not go to worship Shiva yesterday, 1 was passed a curse upon me,
‘And as a result of that my colour has changed from white to
black.’(79)
After learning that all the friends went to the Raja.
When they told him everything, the father came to see his
daughter.(80)
When the Raja observed that her colour had changed, then he asked
the queen,
‘What has happened to the Princess? Why has her colour changed
from white to black?’(81)
Dohira
‘She has turned into an old woman and changed her hue from white to dark.
‘Shiva’s curse is always true. We must prey to him.’(82)
Chaupaee
The foolish Raja did not discern and took her as his daughter.
Whereas Raja’s’ daughter had gone away with the Prince to enjoy a
variety of love-making.(83)
Arril
One day she would send her (to the Prince’s) place and the other day
she would herself make love.
They would revel in love till midnight but the foolish Raja could not
fathom.(84)(1)

Chritar Two hundred and sixty-five


Tale of Prakrit Mati
Chaupaee
In the west country a Raja named Chiter Rath used to live who was
counted as the supreme sovereign.
Prakrit Mati was his wife; even the consorts of the gods felt modest in
her presence.( 1)
Dohira
In the city of Dhaka a Raja called Chitar Koch ruled.
There had never been and would never be as handsome a ruler on
theearth.(2)
That royal prince went on a pilgrimage once,
And he proceeded along, adorned with sixteen embellishments.(3)
Arril
Where there was a window in the palace,
He passed through that way with all his sixteen decorations.
The woman there was enticed to the point of madness seeing him,
and she lost all her senses of decency.( 4)
She also adorned herself with sixteen beautifications and, renouncing
all norms of modesty, she showered her vision.
The Raja was astonished to see her and thought, ‘Who could she be:
whether a humanoid, goddess, a reptile or a mountainous fairy?(5)
‘God knows, may be she is the epitome of a beautiful icon or the icon
itself.
‘If I get the chance of only one encounter with her, I will be
emancipated through my eight incarnations.’(6)
Chaupaee
Here the prince wished like this and there the queen yearned for him
too.
They both observed each other revealingly and none dithered even
for a moment.(7)
(539)

Dohira
Both were facing each other imbued with love,
As if two intrepid were confronting in the war.(8)
Chaupaee
The love between two intensified as the Sun went down and the
darkness enveloped.
The queen called in the she-messenger who conveyed her his profound
love.(9)
But, the queen’s husband loved her so much that he would not let her
go out.
He used to sleep embracing her tightly and showering love
invariably.(l 0)
The queen could never find a chance to go and have sex with him
(the prince).
As the Raja always slumbered with her, how could she go out?(11)
Unable to meet him, Rani was not feeling calmness and dreaded the
Raja sleeping beside her.
When the woman observed that the Raja was in deep sleep, she called
in her royal friend.( 12)
She had sent her maid to invite him and made him to understand
what to do.
She had told him to make love in such a way that no body got up.(13)
Then Chitar Koch reached that place and (due to darkness) could not
recognise which side was Rani and which side was the Raja.
He pulled the legs of the Raja and took them underneath his body.(l4)
The Raja got up in fury and shouting ‘thief’ took his sword out.
The queen got up as well and took hold of the Raja’s hand and told
her foolish husband,(l5)
Dohira
‘He is the Raja of Dhaka and has come here on a pilgrimage.
‘He told me that before he went for ablution, he wanted to touch the
Raja’s pious feet.’(l6)
Chaupaee
‘Oh, my King, he has come to seek your blessings by touching your feet.
‘Don’t kill him. Rather let him touch your feet and bid him farewell
with a lot of wealth.’(l7)
Raja lifted him from his feet and bade him good-bye with plenty of money.
(540)

The queen, this way deceived the foolish Raja and he did not acquiesce
the trickery.(l8)(1)

Tale of Rann Khamb Kala
Chaupaee
Sumant Sen was a just Raja; he was like the god Sun.
He had a queen in his house whose name was Sammar Mati; no
consorts of gods and demons could compete with her.(l)
He had a daughter by the name of Sri Rann Khamb Kala who had
diminished the charm of, even, the Moon.
Facing her enchantment the Sun felt subdued as wel1.(2)
Dohira
With the celestial blessings, when the princess grew older and her
childhood had gone by,
The Cupid commenced to blow its trumpets.(3)
Chaupaee
She had four youthful brothers who were very brave.
They were dauntless and had annihilated many enemies.(4)
Sardul Dhuj, Nahar Dhuj, Singh Ket and Har Ket were all very staunch.
All the four were courageous and the enemies accepted their
prominence.(5)
For the education of all the four, the Raja had engaged a Brahmin
priest.
He was adept in grammar and had learnt the Vedas.(6)
The Raja gave him lot of wealth and great honours.
Along with his sons, he put the daughter under his patronage and
said,
‘Please confer upon them good education.’(7)
Whenever they came to the Pundit, they would bow their heads.
The priest who imparted instructions to them, was rewarded with
(541)

money.(8)
One day the princess reached earlier and bowed her head before the priest.
Whereas the priest was constantly yielding his head before a statue
of Salagram.(9)
Seeing him, the princess could not help laughing as she considered
Salagram as just a stone.(l0)
Savaiyya
The Priest Talk
‘Oh, My Child, this Salagram is like God, and all the prominent
rulers pray on it.
‘What do you, the innocent one, understand? You are referring to the
God as a stone.’(11)
Chhand
The Princess Talk
‘People don’t recognise Him whose benevolence is prevailing in all
the three domains.
‘They, instead, recollect the one by remembering whom the heavenly
domain goes even further away.
‘In the name of God, such sins are committed, which are dared not
by the God Himself.
‘You bow at the feet of the Almighty not at the statues of stones.(l2)
Vijay Chhand
‘In the life, in the water, among the Rajas and in all the forms,
‘In the Sun, in the Moon, in the sky, wherever you observe, He is
there.
‘In the fire and in the wind, and which place is there, where He does
not exist.
‘He is manifested in entirety, Oh, you foolish, not just in stones.(l3)
‘If all the continents are changed into paper and all the seas turned
into ink,
‘Whole vegetation is cut and transformed into pens,
‘And then Saraswati, the goddess of art vocalises,
‘Even then, through out all the ages, Almighty could not be obtained,
‘Oh, you fool, how are you visioning Him in the stones?(14)
‘The one who is looking for God in stones, he cannot understand His
mysteries.
‘He is like the one puts whims into people’s minds and robs their
house-hold.(15)
(542)

‘He makes himself renowned as an intelligent, intellectual and wise


one.
‘But, as he indulges in the worship of stones, he epitomizes a fool.(16)
Chaupaee
‘In the mind his aspirations are temporal but he vocalizes Shiva’s name.
‘He renders many deceptions and is not ashamed of going from door
to door (begging),(l7)
Arril
‘Some stand keeping their mouth and nose blocked for hours and
keep On reciting Shiva’s name,
‘When some body throws even a penny, they forget reciting Shiva’s
name and bend down to pick it up.(l8)
Kabit
‘He sermonises others but, himself, heeds not, and always tells people
to abandon the love for wealth.
‘For the sake of money, he forsakes the pride, and imbued in greed
roams around begging from all, the low and the high.
‘He pretends that he is virtuous but, in fact, he is defiled through out.
‘He serves the outcastes and lives on their offerings,
‘He claims to be contented but, by deserting the Celestial Portal, he is
vagabonding from door to door.(l9)
‘He makes the statue of Shiva with the clay, worships it and, then,
floats it in water and returns to remake by kneading the earth.
‘He falls on its feet, remains in obeisance for hours,
‘Ponder you (Oh, fool) what benediction could be there in that?’
‘You worship this ling (male organ), and, reflecting upon it as Sunbh
(Shiva), you fell on its feet,
‘But, at the end, the same is taken out and given in your hand.
‘Would you give that to your daughter or eat it yourself,
‘This way Shiva will annihilate you after degrading you.(20)
Vijay Chhand
‘Oh. Fool, you designate a stone as Shiva, you are not going to gain
anything from it.
‘The one who itself has been embodied as a stone, may be feeling
blessed, what boons can he grant you?
‘He may turn you like himself and, then, you will, as well, be bedecked
with a stony stage.
(543)

‘Oh, you the great imbecile you discern now, otherwise, once the life
has abandoned you will not be able to accept.(21)
‘Primarily you passed life in childhood and then, during youth, you
remembered him not.
‘You made others to give out alms but, you, yourself, d1d not even
lift your arms to donate.
‘By always bowing to the stones, you have, even, made the God to
feel humble,
‘Oh, you fool, you have been entangled in domestic affairs and ,
altercating, you are expanding your life.(22)
‘Oh, you the Brahmin priest, Just by reading a couple of Puranas,
you get contented,
‘But you have not studied that Purana by perceiving which all the
temporalvices are eliminated.
‘You worship through worship but, in fact your mind is imbued in
the thought for wealth.
‘The foolish people may call them Puranic but we are not prepared to
accept.(23 )
‘Why are you engrossed in such prayers and are worshipping the
stone?
‘Why are you deceiving the world whereas your own domain is being
decimated?
‘Your realm is ruined and, now, why are you destroying your hereafter?
‘Don’t try to appease me with your false incantation, be contented
with money,
‘And go and give charms to the princes but don’t try to teach me.’(24)
Chaupaee
The Brahmin Talk
Brahmins said,’ Listen you, the royal princess, you have never
acquiesced the prominence of the Shiva
‘Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, these are the gods who should always
be facilitated.(25 )
‘You don’t know their mysteriousness and are talking nonsensically.
‘Consider them prominent medievalists, and revere them respectfully
in your mind,(26)
‘Oh, the royal princess, I am an austere Brahmm and the well-wisher
of all, the high and the low.
(544)

‘I teach everyone but make only the big scrooges to spend money.’(27)
Chaupaee
The Princess Talk
‘To make your disciples you give out charms and some how get
donations from them.
‘You don’t divulge the truth to them and make them to lose both the
heretofore and hereafter.(28)
‘Oh, Brahmin, whomsoever you endow incantations, through some
means, you rob their houses.
‘They do not attain any enlightenment and on the other hand get
their heads shaved off.(29)
‘You tell them, when the charm bears fruit, then the primal-god endows
them the boons.
‘When their desires are not fulfilled, then you tell them like this,(30)
“You have committed some mistakes, that is why the Shiva has not
emerged.
“Now go, after giving out donations to the Brahmins, remember the
Shiva’s Incantations.”(31 )
‘You punish them to get fines and then reprimand then to worship
Shiva.(32)
‘You instigate them through many means and at the end you tell them,
“While reciting, you have misspelled some words and, therefore, your
oration has been dishonoured.
“That is why you have not been blessed by Ruder (Shiva) and to
rectify you must hand out in charities.”(33)
‘Oh, Brahmin, you go on dispensing the charms and letting him ruined
‘When he becomes penniless, then you go to find another house.(34)
Dohira
‘If there was any truth in those charms and incantations,
‘You would have been king by now and there would have been no
need of begging. ‘(35)
Chaupaee
The Brahmin Talk
Listening to this Brahmin flew into rage and showered foul language
upon her,
‘How you, who has drunk cannabis, can understand my pontification.(36)
(545)

The princess Talk


‘Oh, Brahmin, you do not grasp and are using egoist language.
‘By quaffing cannabis the intellect does not flyaway and even if you
are not drunk your wits are not in senses.(37)
‘You consider yourself wise and do not take cannabis,
‘But in whosever’s house you go, you rum him.(38)
‘The wealth which you propagate to abandon, why do you go from
door to door to beg?
‘You go round the silly Rajas begging for meagre alms.(39)
‘You call yourself an ascetic m the world, and go round advising the
people to become celibates.
‘Once you have sworn to abandon, then, spreading your arms, why
do you beg from them?(40) ,
‘To some, you advise to renounce and the some, you label with bad
omens.
‘In your mind, you covet for money and, to quench this thirst, you
roam around the houses.( 41)
Arril
‘You recite Vedas, Grammars, Shastras and Simritis so that the people
may donate pennies.
‘You praise the ones who give but you criticise the ones who do not
dish out money.( 42)
Dohira
‘The criticism and praise may be vital sign for survival in the world,
‘But when the earth is resolved into the earth, both (criticism and
praise) achieve their ends.( 43)
‘The bestower has not endowed the power to emancipate in any other

on the face of the Brahmin.
With the icon, she broke all the teeth of the Brahmin and snatched his

‘You announce, “Initially, I will have ablution and then I will dispense
with all my riches.
“I will never worship the stones and will pay obesance at the feet of

The poet Says
Then the Brahmin worshipped Mahan Kaal and dropped all the icons
in the rivulet.
No one even had the wind of what had transpired with the
Brahmin.(124)
Dohira
Through such stratagem she manoeuvred the Brahmin to submerge
the stones.
After making him to savour wine and cannabis, she made him the
server of Mahan Ka1.(l25)(1)

Tale of a Muslim Woman
Chaupaee
Roop Sen was an auspicious Raja; he was very brave, astute and prudent.
Sakal Mati was his wife; one like her had never been there before,(l)
There used to live a Muslim woman with whom, even, the Cupid’s
consort could not match.
When she heard about the elegance of the Raja, that woman instantly
fell in love with him.(2)
She sent a lady-friend to Roop Sen and asked her to convey him
about her Fascination,
‘Please come to my chamber one day and endow this deprived one
(556)

with your benefaction.’(3)


The Raja told through the messenger-woman, ‘Oh, Lady, your husband
is still alive.
‘First you kill the Quazi (i.e. husband) and then, after that, 1 will
make love with you.’( 4)
The maid communicated, ‘The Raja has asked me to convey,
‘If you first terminate the Quazi’s life, then, after that, you can achieve him.’(5)
The woman received the message, kept it secret and did not reveal it
to anybody.
When the Quazi came home one night, she unsheathed a sword and
decapitated him when he was in deep sleep.(6)
She took his head in her hand, went and placed it in front of the Raja,
‘For your sake, 1 have killed the Quazi, now you make love with
me.’(7)
On seeing the severed head, the Raja’s mind was filled with horror,
‘The one who has not taken a moment to kill her husband, what
would be the worth of a friend with her?’(8)
He censured the woman, ‘1 renounce to have sex with you.
‘Oh, you the sinful one, as you have killed your husband, 1 am fearful
of you.(9)
‘You, the wicked one, you go back to the place where you killed
your spouse.
‘You the shameful one, all your adoration is ineffectual and how are
you still living ?’
Dohira
‘You have committed perjury by killing your own mate for my sake.
‘Why don’t you, now finish yourself by thrusting a dagger in your
body ?’(11)
Listening to this, she flew into rage and ashamedly returned to her house.
She threw her husband’s head in the house of the paramour and on
arriving back home she raised a hue and cry.(12)
When the day broke, she showed the torso to all the people,
And led them following the streak of the blood.(13)
Seeing the smear of the blood, people started to accompany her.
She brought them all to the lover’s place where she had thrown the
head.(14)
Every body saw the severed head, ‘The Quazi has been slain the Raja.’
They tied him up and brought him there where (the Emperor) Jehangir
(557)

was seated.(l5)
She narrated the entire happening and stressed that the Raja had killed
the Quazi.
The honourable-one handed over the tied-one to her but no one
fathomed The real the secret.(l6)
When she walked away taking him to assassinate him, she winked
and gestured her willingness to save the Raja.
The Raja winked too to indicate that he would obey her even If he
had to fetch water perform(menial job) for her.(17)
Then she thought over, ‘Now the Raja is willing to acquiesced to my
request.’ .
She got him freed saying, ‘1 have pardoned him for the murder he
had committed.’( 18)
After getting the friend freed she thought and declared,
‘Now I will proceed to Mecca for a pilgrimage and if I die, then I am
gone for ever but if I survive, 1 will come back.’(19)
Putting the people in the thought of her sojourn, she went back to his
house.
The Raja was terrified seeing her and made love with her.(20)
People thought she had gone to Mecca and did not care to come to
her house to ask her welfare.
The woman played such a trick and through deception terminated
the Quazi.(21 )
Through deceit she had killed the Quazi and deceived the friend.
Their (female) stories are inaccessible and unfathomable and, even,
the gods or the demons cannot discern them.(22)(1)

and cry,(6)
‘An agonizing demon has captured Champa Kala, the Raja’s daughter.
‘Please go get her out of his grip, kill him and don’t let the demon go
scot-free.’(7)
On hearing the wailing people came running into the garden holding swords.
When they did not come across any demon, they pondered over,(8)
‘The demon must have taken her away into the heavens,’ and the
Raja felt remorse on losing the princess.
He sobbed over the loss and felt very much rueful.(9)
They spent all their money going around from country to country.
One night, the princess abandoned the prince and left for her own
country.(l0)
She wrote a letter to her father, ‘The Almighty has got me free from
the demon.

The Raja immediately ran out and headed towards the house, which
was on fire,
‘The princess caught fire and no one cared. Now pick up her remains
and send some body to submerge them in the river Ganga.’(11)
Raja instantly had gotten up, ran and reached the place where house
was on fire.
He raised lamentations and asked to take her out and save her from
burning.( 12)
He thought that princess was burning in fire but never considered her

Although, tormented excessively, he, as well as, the subject, could

singer.

But the one who takes drugs is better as he makes fool of the
teetotalers.(17)

kept thinking him to be his daughter’s singer.(l8)(1)

Bhujang Pariyat Chhand


In a country in the west there used to live a Raja; none other like him
had been created by the Providence.
He had an auspicious daughter, Bikhiya, with whom no one in the
world could match.(1)
A father named Prabha Sen had his abode there, which was famous
for his heroism.
There arrived, once, a Raja with a majestic crown, who was adept in
the arms and a extraordinary intellect.(2)
Once Prabha Sen came to a place where there was a magnificent
garden, and he felt extremely blissful.
He ordered his chariot driver to stop and he went out to walk in the
garden.(3)
As he was overwhelmed by the splendour of the garden, he pondered
over,
(582)

‘I must spend some time here and after a couple of watches 1 will
continue on my journey.’(4)
After tying the horses, he rested for about two hours and eliminated
all his agonies.
There walked in Bikhiya, the daughter of the Raja; when the girl saw
him she felt enchanted.(5)
Then the daughter of the Raja soliloquised, ‘Now I must accept the
sleeping Prabha Sen,
‘He is my consort, I will only marry him and I live remaining his maid.’(6)
Without a shadow of doubt she contemplated and determined to
espouse him.
Failing which, ‘I will abandon the capital city and run away
elsewhere,’ she deliberated when she came across a letter lying on
the ground.(7)
She wanted to open the letter and read, but dreaded by the repercussion
of the Vedas,
‘If one opens a letter which is found by chance, the Provider will
throw him into the hell.’(8)
In spite of suffused with apprehension, she held the letter in her hand
and deemed it to be from her friend.
Some times she hid it in her hand and some times she tried to open it,
like a pauper behaves on finding some money.(9)
At the end she determined, and regarding it as from her husband, she
opened the letter,
‘One who opens her husband’s letter, that one is not thrown into the
hell by the Almighty’.(10)
There was (another) Raja who wanted to annihilate the life of Prabha Sen.
He had resolved thus and had expressed the same in that letter.(11)
The letter was to the person whose daughter was Bikhiya,
(It was written in there,) ‘When Raja Prabha Sen is seen approaching,
the poison should be given to him.’(12)
She was shaken after reading that and to save her patron she planned
a deception.
She took some (black) eye-lasher in her hand and changed Bikh (the
poison) into Bikhiya (her name).(13)
When she had gone away, the Raja awoke and picked up the love letter.
He gave that letter in his hands and the Raja (her father) acknowledged
on learning the (other) Raja’s name.(14)
When the Raja opened and read the letter, he thought that his friend
(583)

Raja had expressed his earnest desire,


‘After reading the letter, “Oh. Raja, you immediately, without a delay
of even one watch, give away Bikhiya.”(15)
The princess, known as Bikhiya was handed over; see how the trickery
of damsel had manoeuvred.
The Raja did not discern and Raja Prabha Sen married her and took
her away.(l6)(1)

Tale of Chhail Devi
Chaupaee
In the city of Una, which is in the country of Rome, a Raja named
Dev Chattar used to live.
Chhail Devi was his daughter who had studied the Shastras and the
Grammar.(l)
There was an intrepid called Ajit Sen, who was adept in the arms.
He was so brave and handsome that he was admired throughout the
world.(2)
His personality radiated; he had won many battles.
When the Rani saw him coming, she talked to her daughter,(3)
‘Had he taken birth into a royal family, I would have picked him for you.
‘Now I will endeavour if I could find a match like him for you.’( 4)
Arril
When she heard this, enticed with the passion and his magnanimity,
she looked at him
(585)

She fell for him but did not disclose; every moment she commenced
to revere him.(5)
Chaupaee
When the Sun set, she called a maid and revealed the secret of her
heart,
‘If you arrange him to meet me, only then I will consider you as my
true friend.’( 6)
The maid acquiesced to her secret, and without revealing to any body,
She quickly went to that boy and enlightened him.(7)
She convinced him through various means and, somehow, she brought
him.
She brought him there where she was standing and looking out waiting
for him.(8)
Seeing him, the woman was as much delighted as a pauper feels on
receiving unexpected wealth.
She hugged the friend repeatedly and, blissfully, made love.(9)
She eradicated her (the maid’s) adversity and sat there resting her
head on the feet of the friend.
(To the maid,) ‘Through your grace, I have achieved my paramour, I
cannot express my delight.(l0)
‘Oh, My Friend, now do me another favour, you design some trick so
that
I may sleep with him all the times without letting anybody know.’(11)
The woman thought over the plan, which I (the minister) now narrate
it you.
She hid him in the house and conveyed to the (mother) Rani,(12)
‘Oh, Rani, the person, whom you admired most, has been taken away
by the Lord God.
‘Please believe this maid, it seems he has been the victim of the
malevolent looks of the ladies.(13)
‘As everybody praised him markedly, the all Provider has taken him away.
‘Because he was pierced by the female looks, the death overpowered
him.’(14 )
The Rani was swayed by sorrow and she could not eat the whole day.
She took him really dead, as she had no idea of the truth.(15)
(The maid,) ‘Such a man, which you saw, has never been there before
and can never be again, that is the way I presume.
‘That man had a sister back home whom he had left in his town.(16)
(586)

‘If you permit me, I will go there, search and bring the sister of the
dead man here.
‘She is very wise and endowed with astute characteristics, I will bring
her and show her to you.’(l7)
All the ladies affirmed but had no clue of the underlying truth.
They gave her enough money to search, and the Rani bade her good
bye.(l8)
Dohira
She left the place taking lot of money and came to the house of that
boy.
She remained there for eight month and no one had the knowledge
of her whereabouts.(l9)
Chaupaee
When the ninth month started, she disguised the man into woman.
She brought him and showed him to the Rani and all the women
were convinced.(20)
‘My dear Rani, please listen what I am going to suggest, you hand
over her to your daughter.
‘Don’t divulge the secret to the Raja and, please, trust me.(2l)
‘If the Raja saw her, he will not come to your house,
‘He will take her as his woman and will never show his face to you
and you will remain in predicament.’(22)
(Rani,) ‘It is good you have enlightened me as no one can understand
the female deceptions.’
And she let her stay at her daughter’s place but the Raja had no
knowledge.(23)
It turned out the way the princess wanted and through trickery the
maid deceived the Rani.
She kept her in the house daringly and the Rani did not disclose to
the Raja.(24)
Dohira
Through such an Chritar the damsel kept her paramour,
And all the women remained in dilemma and they never doubted.(25)
What to talk of the deities, reptiles and the humans,
Even the gods and the demons cannot understand the mysteries of
the women.(26)(1)

Tale of Dakhshan Devi
Dohira
In the city of Baghdad, there was a Raja named Dakhshan Sen.
Dakhshan Devi was his wife who was like the Cupid’s consort.
Chaupaee
There used to live a Shah known as Kamal Ket; there was none other
like him in the world.
He was very brave, adept in arms and famous in all the four
directions.(2)
Dohira
When the Rani beheld his charm with her own eyes,
She was overpowered by the libidinous desire.(3)
Chaupaee
She summoned a clever maid, who came in and bowed to the Rani.
She communicated to her, her aspirations and sent her to the prince.(4)
She did not take long, reached there and narrated her tribulations,
‘The Raja’s wife has been infused with your love and has abandoned
all her other nostalgia.(5)
‘Now to bless her abode, please, Prince, come and walk to that place.
‘Please make haste, don’t hesitate, come and grace her bed.’(6)
The maid prevailed over his heart and orchestrated him to meet her.
He satisfied her in various ways and made love during all the four
watches of the night.(7)
Whole night was spent revelling in sex-plays, they narrated many
stories of lovemaking,
And adopting all types of sex postures, they quenched their sensual urge.(8)
The night passed away, the day broke and a variety of birds chirped.
Making love, both were exhausted, feeling inebriated, they fell flat
on the bed.(9)
Relinquishing the sleep, they again commenced the sex plays.
(588)

Adopting numerous poses they, even, surpassed the Koka Shastra.(10)


Imbued in making love, they forgot all their domestic affairs.
She pondered over and revealed the truth to the paramour.(11)
‘Oh, my love, listen to me, I am your slave for today.
‘I have no dearth of wealth, we both should elope somewhere.(12)
‘My friend, please strive in such a way that you take me with you.
‘Disguising as mendicants, we will remain at some place expending
the money.’(13)
The companion told the woman, ‘How could I get away taking you
with me.
‘There are so many of watchmen, even the birds cannot escape.(14)
‘If the Raja saw you and me, he will kill both of us.
‘You devise such a plan so that no other person can learn about
relationship.’(15)
Instantly she started to cry, ‘pain, pain’ as if she was going to expire.
The husband picked up the wailing one up and called in all the lay-
doctor.(16)
He requested all of them to give her some treatment,
‘So that the Rani does not breath her last and adorns my bed.’(17)
Then the clever maid, who had known all the trickery, spoke,
‘I know a woman hakim, who outclasses all these,(18)
‘Oh, Raja, you call her over and ask her to conduct the treatment.
‘It won’t take long and Rani will be saved to glamorise your bed.’(19)
The Raja acquiesced to the suggestion and asked her to bring in that
wise woman.
The man who had been disguised, was suggested to be called as a
female hakim.(20)
After seeking the Raja’s permission, she went and brought that female-
hakim.
She (he) felt her pulse, and, then told the Raja,(21)
‘Rani has been effected with a princely disease (T.B.)
‘Through constant endeavour, it can be eradicated in eight years.’(22)
Whatever the Raja was told by the paramour, Raja deemed it true.
In her house, she, who was disguised as female-hakim, was engaged
as servant.(23)
Day and night, he remained there and revelled sexually with the
woman.
The foolish Raja could not fathom and for eight year kept his head
(589)

shaved (lived in humiliation).(24)


Dohira
Through such deception, the woman bluffed the Raja.
For eight years she frolicked with the friend but the mindless Raja
did not perceive.(25)( 1)

Tale of Poorab Devi
Chaupaee
In the West country a Raja used to live; he was known in the world as
Poorab Sen.
His wife’s name was Poorab Devi; no daughter of gods even, could
contest her.(1)
There lived a Kashatri (warrior), Roop Sen; there was no one as
handsome as he.
He was so glamorous that, even, the reptiles-like females felt
modest.(2)
When the Raja’s wife had a glimpse of him, with her mind, body and
soul, she contemplated,
‘I must make love with him failing which I will kill myself with a
dagger.’(3)
Taking into her confidence, she summoned a maid and opened her
heart,
‘Either you make this man to meet me, or you will not see my face
next day.( 4)
Dohira
‘Oh, My Friend, either you arrange my meeting with him,
‘Or you come and see me lying dead.’(5)
Chaupaee
When such talk was heard, the maid grasped the problem,
(590)

‘She has been completely immersed in his love and has abandoned
all her sleeps and appetites.’(6)
Arril
She did not hesitate for a moment and reached the house of the friend.
After appraising (him) of the situation, she brought him there where
she was sitting adorning the bed.(7)
Chaupaee
She got up, grabbed him in her arms and kissed him repeatedly.
She contentedly rejoiced the sex after savouring the cannabis, opium
and wine.(8)
When inebriated with wine, holding him from the arms, she put him
on the bed.
With great passion hugged him and jumping up down enjoyed the
intercourse.(9)
The youth combined with wine and, then, sex with young woman,
Who can there be to accept the defeat? Even Four Vedas have no
answer.(10)
When a young woman gets hold of a young man, she does not let
him go for a moment even.
She, again and again, grabbed him and frolicked in sex whole night.(11)
Performing sex the Rani felt totally captivated, and the woman of
another person became his (possession).
The young man was not let loose even for a second and the young
woman relished his youthfulness.(12)
Drinking wine, he recited Koka Shastra and enjoyed the copulation.
Without the care of any body he kept on admiring the 10ve-making.(l3)
They arranged the cannabis, opium and wine and, resting on the bed
cherished them.
Laughing and giggling, they pulled the legs and the man charmed
the woman.(14)
Making love they spent whole night and after sleep, they got up and
again indulged in lovemaking.
The woman kept on adopting various postures and kissed him
invariably.(15)
By making love he satiated the woman and rejoiced sex in different
ways. Jovially she said, ‘Please attend me with full attention..’(16)
Then he had made contented love with the woman adopting various
(591)

methods,
Fully satisfied, she told, ‘1 have become your slave,(17)
‘If you order, 1 will go and fetch water for you, failing which I will
put rnyself for auction in the town.
‘I will obey any of your commands and will not be scared of any
body.’(l8)
The friend replied cheerfully, ‘I have become your slave now.
‘I have achieved a woman like you and this has answered my
prayers.(19)
‘Now I have only one desire which 1 share with you.
‘We must strive some scheme so that we remain united through out.(20)
‘You play such a stratagem that you keep me with you forever.
‘No one should know; if a dog sees not, it barks not.’(21)
When the Rani learnt all this, she told the friend smilingly,
‘You apply the hair-remover on your body and disguise as a
woman.’(22)
The Rani sent for the hair-removing medication and applied on his face.
All the hair were erased and he put on the lady’s clothes.(23)
She placed a Veena, the violin on his shoulder and to hear, she invited
a friend.
When the Raja came to her chambers, she (he) went on playing the
instrument.(24)
Listening to the violin, the Raja considered him to be a woman.
His features incited the Raja and he contemplated to abandon his
abode even for her (him).(25)
He called in an emissary and, loaded with money, he sent her there.
When the Rani heard this, she felt amused and said,(26)
‘Lest the Raja decide to rejoice with you and abandon all his love for me,
‘I will sleep keeping you with me and keep all the afflictions away.(27)
Raja ordered the maid and she presented herself there.
She observed him sleeping with the Rani, she returned and reported
to the Raja.(28)
The Raja thought that the Rani had sensed his intention,
And consequently she was making her (him) to sleep with her so that
the Raja was unable to get an opportunity.(29)
When the Raja grasped all the predicament, he came himself to judge
the situation,
The wife was sleeping with the friend and his effort was wasted as he
could not disturb them.(30)
(592)

The Raja shook his head and thought in his mind, ‘The Rani had
suspected my intention,
‘And that is why she is sleeping with her and does not care about
me.’(3l)
Then the Rani devised the plan and instructed all the maids,
‘Lest the Raja may call her (him) to make love,(32)
‘I will sleep with her (him) fastening body to body.’
All the maids were taken in and, thus, they helped to save her (him)
from the Raja.(33)
The Rani would sleep with him during the daytime with bodies tightly
in gnps.
The foolish Raja would not comprehend, and got his head shaved
off.(34)

Tale of Paschim Devi
Chaupaee
There was a prominent town called Pachma Wati where Pachma Sen
used to rule.
He had a Rani known as Paschim Devi for whom even the pundits
were desirous,( 1)
The Rani’s beauty radiated like the Moonlight in the universe.
She was very much admired by the Raja and the people appraised
her as the second Moon.(2)
There used to live one man called Rai who possessed the brilliance of the Sun.
I (poet) have no talent to explicate his eminence as the Rani was
fascinated by him.(3)
She sent her a few messages and one day she called him to her house.
He received the message and eagerly went to her place.(4)
She arranged cannabis, hemp, and opium and, occupying one bed,
they both partook them.
When the wine inebriated them, they yielded all their afflictions.(5)
(593)

They luxuriated in one bed and narrated the romantic tales.


Then they passed kisses and made love in various ways.(6)
The Rani was extremely elated through his sex plays,
And thought in her mind, ‘I will run away with him.(7)
‘What good are these royal facilities for me, and 1 don’t like the Raja
any way.
‘I will elope with my friend and bear all the blissfulness and affliction
on my own.’(8)
Where they used to hunt, there was an empty dilapidated temple.
Riding on a palanquin, she travelled to that place and called in her
friend too.(9)
When she was passing through the thick jungle, she made an excuse
to go out to urinate.
She ran away with her friend and, while going away, she let out a few
drops of blood on the road.(l0)
When she had gone with her paramour, the maids started to shout,
‘A lion has taken away the Rani, please come and save her.’( 11)
When the brave ones heard the call, they dreaded and took their swords out.
They informed the Raja, as well, that a lion had taken away the
Rani’(l2)
The Raja shook his head and was thrown into a predicament.
He did not fathom the truth and the paramour eloped with the
Rani.(l3)(1)

Tale of Utter Mati
Chaupaee
Uttar Singh was great Raja; he ruled a country in the north.
Utter Mati was his wife; one like her had never been heard before.(l)
There came one person called Lahori Rai who was very handsome
and intelligent.
When the woman saw him, she was so much overpowered with his
(594)

thought.(2)
That she, even, neglected to look after her scarf and the bodices (her
modesty).
She perpetually adored him and her eyes never stopped poring down
the tears.(3)
When the Raja came to ask her welfare, she would not like to comment.
She would waver and flutter ‘my love, my love’ and become
oblivious.(4)
The Raja got astonished and asked the maids,
‘What has happened to the woman? How has she gone into such a
predicament?(5)
‘Who can make efforts so that the Rani does not attain death? ‘
Whosoever endeavours as such and saves the Rani from the death,
‘Whatever he demands, for sake of the Rani, I will pay.(6)
‘I will go and fetch water carrying pitcher on my head for him.
The one who eradicates the Rani’s affliction, will get the sovereignty
along with the Rani.(7)
‘The one who eliminates the Rani’s adversity, he wIll rejuvenate me.
‘Along with the Rani he will receive half of the regime and I will
handover the Rani for one night.(8)
‘He may rule and make love with Rani for one day,
‘I will take over governance next day and, only then, revel with my
wife.’(9)
When the Raja repeated like this, a maid, with folded hands, requested,
And what the maid told the Raja, I (poet) going to narrate, to you,
Oh, My Elegant listeners,(10)
‘You invite a hakim, a lay-doctor and ask him to undertake the treatment.
‘She will be cured in minutes and the patient will become disease-
free.’(11)
When the Raja heard this, he immediately called him over.
He let him feel the Rani’s pulse and the hakim pronounced,(12)
‘The ailment, which is distressing the lady, I am unable to reveal it you.
‘Please pardon me for this and listen to my whole predicament.(13)
‘The Rani has been tormented by the Cupid as you have not made
love with her.
‘The Cupid’s love has captured her and there is a remedy for that with me.(14)
‘This woman is intoxicated with love for the Cupid as you had no sex with her.
‘Now when she revels in the intercourse, her adversity will be
(595)

eliminated.(l5)
‘You can get her cured but, first, you give me solemn promise,
‘If I release her from the miseries, then, along with the Rani, I will get
half of your state.’(l6)
The Raja said overwhelmingly, ‘I had already thought the same
way.’First you go ahead and cure her and then claim half of the
regency along with the Rani.’(l7)
Initially he took the solemn promise from the Raja and then conducted
the treatment.
Through love making he eliminated the disease and won over half
the sovereignty along with the Rani.(18)
Through these deceptions, she got him half the country, and the Rani
rejoiced sex with the friend.
The stupid husband did not grasp and got his moustache removed
(accepted humiliation).(19)
Dohira
Through this technique, the Rani tricked the Raja and frolicked with
the friend.
(She) got half of the ruling for the friend, and no body were revealed
the secret.(20)
Chaupaee
This way half the state went away and the foolish husband was
deceived.
Every day the paramour would indulge in sex and conduct half of
the sovereign ty.(21)
One day she would come to the Raja and the other day enjoyed with
the friend.
One day would conduct the governance and the other day the
paramour ran the country.(22)(l)

Tale of Raj Devi


Chaupaee
Where there is the city of Rajpuri, there was one Raja called Raj Sen
Raj Devi was his wife who was the epitome of the Moonlit night(l)
The Raja had lot of affection for her and whatever the Raja desired
he fulfilled.
He would not go to the house of any other woman as he was afraid of
the fury of the ladies.(2)
Every body obeyed the Rani and would not care for the Raja.
The women can kill anybody they desire to and they can save
whomsoever they wish to.(3)
There came a prostitute with whom the Raja got entangled.
He invited her but could not, being scared of his woman.( 4)
When she (the Rani) heard the rumour, she deliberated in her mind
like this,
‘If I decide to go to the house of a paramour, I will seek forgiveness
in advance.’(5)
When the Raja came to her chamber at night, the Rani spoke thus,
‘Oh, Raja, you exalt that prostitute, to whom you go and meet, more
than me.(6)
‘I am very angry, leaving me behind, the Raja goes to the prostitute.
‘Stop making love with the one like your sister, failing which abandon
your love for me.(7)
‘If you go to the house of the prostitute and have sex with her,
‘Then I will go to the place of my patron and earn ill-fame for you.(8)
‘First, you write down for me that I may go to any body’s abode, I
may like,
‘Or I may invite any person and make love with him.’(9)
When the Raja heard this, looking deep into her eyes, just went quiet.
He did not speak thinking, ‘The Rani has unfolded my secret.(l0)
‘I was infatuated for her and the Rani has unearthed the secret.
‘I must take some precautions but I cannot abandon the
prostitute.’(11)
The Rani captured his thought that he was in love with the prostitute,
And if he was unable to control then the Rani would leave him.(12)
When the Raja revisited the Rani, the Rani said,
‘If I ever heard you going to the prostitute, I will go and have sex
(597)

with my friend.( 13)


‘Now you are devoid of semen and, consequently, we cannot have a heir.
‘If some one else ravelled with your woman, only then you will have
a son.(14)
The Raja thought that the Rani was right.
Be wrote down pardon for lovemaking and, himself, left for the house
of the prostitute.(15)
When the Raja had gone to the prostitute, she would call him over,
And, daringly, indulge in sex, without any care of the Raja.(16)
The Rani had arranged the prostitute herself and, this way, had the
Raja issue a pardon.
Now she would call any person to enjoy sex.(17)
The foolish Raja did not acquiesce the secret.
The Rani tricked and got the pardon issued for making love.(18)

Tale of Anand Wati
Chaupaee
A town called Anand Wati is heard whose ruler was Anand Sen.
He had woman named Anand Wati, who was an optimum light for
the world.(1 )
The Creator had endowed her extreme beauty; there was no one like
her in the world.
There came a well-adorned man who surpassed the charm of the
Rani.(2)
When the woman came across such a fascination, the Cupid’s urge
overpowered her.
The damsel was elated and lost the sense of her whereabouts.(3)
She sent a maid and called him over and revelled in love making
with him.
She adopted heartfelt postures, and hugged and kissed him profusely.(4)
(598)

The Rani extremely fancied the friend and then gave him such knowledge;
She told him, ‘Go to a place in bewilderment and sit down there in
yogic posture.(5)
‘You smear all the parts of your body with dust and sit in meditation
under the tree.
‘I will come there with the Raja and will bring you to my home.’(6)
The friend agreed to her counsel and disguised him as a sage.
He took yogic postUre under a tree, and, on the other side, the woman
told the Raja.(7)
‘I was sleeping when the god Shiva came to my house.
‘Shaking my feet he woke me up and, with great grace, addressed me,(8)
“What have you been telling the Raja, bear one thing in the mind.
“A sage is heard to be living in the jungle, and there is no other
savant like him in the world.(9)
“Along with the Raja you go and get him here, and sleep with him for
twelve years.”
‘Without any doubt a son will be born and there is no hidden motive
behind it.(10)
‘Please trust him as a great celibate and never deem him as spent.
‘Even the heavenly nymphs like Rambha toiled hard but the sage
never defied his vow (of celibacy).(11)
‘Now you and I go there and beg him to come to our abode somehow.
‘Let him sleep with me for twelve years and, without any hesitation,
achieve an heir.’(l2)
The Raja conceded to her suggestion and, along with the Rani,
marched towards that jungle,
Where the dreadful tall trees were touching the heavens, which could
not be narrated.(l3)
The Raja, accompanying the Rani, reached there and saw the sage.
Along with his wife, he fell on his feet and thought in his mind.(l4)
‘What Shiva had related in the dream, we have verily found it here.
‘Through whatever means, I will persuade him to come to my house
and make him to sleep with the Rani.’(l5)
More the Raja fell on his feet, more the sage closed his eyes.
Raja shook his head affirmatively, ‘How great is this sage.’(16)
After the Raja had bowed his head on his feet several times, the sage
opened his eyes,
‘Why have you come here and why have you brought this woman
(599)

with you?(l7)
‘We are the dwellers of the jungle and we remember only the name
of the Immortal One.
‘Where do the Raja and the subject live, we could not be cognizant
of that.(18)
‘All those you have brought to charm us, are of what use to us?
‘We do not go to the house of any body but remain imbued in the
godly name here in the jungle.’(19)
(Raja,) ‘Please come to the royal palace and help us to get rid of the sins.
‘You stay there for twelve years and, then, after that you may return
to the jungle.’(20)
When the Raja begged him repeatedly, the sage said,
‘Why are you bowing on my feet again and again. What cause do I
have in your dwellings?’(21)
(Raja,) ‘Shiva has himself told us about your whereabouts and woke
us up from sleep to come here.
‘At least you listen to Shiva, the great and stay with us for twelve years.’(22)
When he heard Shiva’s pronouncement, the sage conceded to come.
He accompanied the Raja and, along with the Rani, entered their
residence.(23 )
When the Raja served him the dainty foods, he asserted,
‘What good are these viands to me, they are for the domesticated people.(24)
‘Nor we look at the females nor do we relish these exquisite victuals.
‘Except the recitation of the godly name we have no other aim; only
the way the Vedas and the other religious books have articulated.’(25)
The Raja believed him to be a true sage and could not distinguish
between the false and true.
He, himself, made Rani to sleep with him and the fool got his
moustache shaved.(26)
Every day he would decorate the bed himself and let her sleep with
the Rani.
He thought him to be real celibate and the fool did not recognise (the
reality).(27)
When the wife realised that her husband was not watching, she would
daringly make love.
She would serve him plenty of cannabis and opium and, during all
the four watches, would indulge in sex.(28)
During lovemaking she thought of trickery and on top of them she
(600)

took a quilt.
The Raja sitting there massaged his legs whereas, underneath the
quilt, he was revelling with the Rani.(29)
Through this deception “he deceived the husband as, he was watching
and she was making love with him.
Sitting at the end of the bed, he would go on massaging whereas the
paramour kept on having the sex.(30)
Frolicking thus, the Rani hoaxed the husband and right in front of his
eyes the sex-play went on.
The foolish man did not grasp the truth and got his head shaved off
by a woman.(31)(1)

Tale of Chanchala Devi
Chaupaee
Chanchala Sen was an auspicious Raja; there was no other Raja as
much harmonious.
Chanchala Devi was the lady of his house and, even, the daughters
of the gods and the demons were not as pretty as she.(l)
Her beauty had no bounds and she was enticed by the Cupid as well.
She was at the prime of her youth and she deemed to have been die-
cast byajeweller.(2)
She gave birth to a son who passed away at the age of twenty.
The Rani was extremely anguished and lost all her temporal
faculties.(3)
There came one son of a trader who was, as if, the offspring of Providence.
He possessed the features just like the Rani’s son had.( 4)
When the Rani came across that man, she surrendered all her modesty
(and thought),
‘I must rejoice sex with him, failing which 1 may kill myself with a
dagger.’(5)
Whenever the prince passed through that way, she would go to see him.
One day when the Raja saw her, observing him in such a manner, he
(601)

asked her,(6)
‘For what purpose you have come here and whom are you watching
so intensely?’
The Rani, then, said, ‘Please, My King, listen,(7)
‘Since your son flew away to the heaven, he seems to have come
back in his body.
‘You let this boy sleep with me in my bed and enable me to attain
serenity.’(8)
The fool did not perceive the secret and himself called him over.
Without pondering over the abnormality, he acted himself as a procurer.(9)
He acted as a pimp without reflecting upon the ethicality.
The Rani saved the trouble of sending emissary as the Raja himself
acted as a procurer.(10)
She put him up near her bed and served him dainty foods.
She would announce that he was like her son and that was why he
was lying next to her.(11)
The one who served him course meals, was rebuked by the Rani,
‘He looks like my son, and he must be served good meals.’(12)
She made him to sleep near her as she got her bed adjoining to hers.
Whenever the Raja was in deep slumber, she made love with him.(13)
She would hug him tightly and squeeze his limbs repeatedly.
She would make love in various manners and then go to sleep clinging
with his body.(l4)
One day when the Rani was with her paramour, the proud Raja came
out of his sleep.
When he saw her kissing on his mouth, he pronounced his
indignation.(l5)
Dohira
‘I consider him as my son and I love him extremely.
‘Considering his resemblance with my son, I have kissed him.’(l6)
Chaupaee
Similar was the Raja’s thought that she would have kissed considering
him as his son.
He yielded all his anger as he could not distinguish between the evil
and virtue.(l7)
Dohira
Through this deception, Bangas Rai was kept in the house.
(602)

During day she would address him as son and during night made
love with him.(l8)(1)

Tale of Mangla Devi
Chaupaee
Bangas Sen was the Raja of the country of Bangsi whose house was
the epitome of affluence.
Bangas Devi was his Rani and the women of all the three domains
felt jealous of her.(l)
There used to live a daughter ofa Shah; she was very pretty and
intelligent.
Her name was Mangla Devi and, not even, the consort of Cupid was
as much pretty.(2)
There came a Shah who had several camels loaded with the pearls.
He had no dearth of wealth and anyone who saw him, felt gratified.(3)
Arril
When Mangla Devi saw that Shah, she, intellectually, contrived in
her mind.
She invited him to her house and spread the rumour that her brother
was visiting her.(4)
She prepared exquisite foods and arranged neat intoxicants.
She served him in the gilded utensils and then brought in seven times
re-decanted wines.(5)
After taking cannabis, he relished foods and then savoured cups full
of fine wines.
When they were fully inebriated, the woman acted this way:
She pulled him holding his arms and put him on the bed.(6)
She said, ‘Let us he the game of lovemaking and eliminate the
afflictions of the Cupid.
‘I am young and so are you, then what is the hesitation, the woman is
inviting you to make love.’(7)
(603)

Chaupaee
The Shah did not concede to the woman’s request and she felt much
ashamed.
She was overpowered with the rage and cut him apart into two.(8)
She plundered all his wealth, and, thus, this sinner committed a big
immorality.
Then she pronounced that he had been torn apart by an elephant and
no body came to rescue.(9)
She became the inheritor and, after killing him, took all his possessions.
No body came to know of the fact and, for not making love, she
killed him.(l0)
Dohira
Through this deception she killed him who did not make love.
The poet Siam says that this narration of the story ends here.(11)(l)

Tale of Sakuch Mati
Chaupaee
There was a Kashatri (warrior) named Vijay Soor who was renown as
Sidh Pal.
He was a minister of (Emperor) Shams Din of Delhi whom all the
Rajas and the Rani exalted.(l)
Lachman Sen was his intelligent son and his second son Bajar Sen
was a dimwit.
Sakuch Mati was his .daughter with whom none of the females of the
humans and reptiles could compete.(2)
Shams Din was the great valiant of Delhi; the Raja of all the countries
accepted his suzerainty.
One day when he went out on hunting, there, a lioness was giving
birth to a cub.(3)
The Emperor of Delhi walked to that place where the lioness was seen.
(604)

Sidh Pal was accompanying him along with four types of security.(4)
When he directed his elephant towards the lioness, she started to give
birth to a cub.
The cub, which was still half inside the belly, dashed his nail in the
forehead of the elephant.(5)
A bard was there, who saw the seen and expounded one couplet.
(Poet says,) ‘Now I will narrate you what the Emperor never
disregarded.’(6)
Dohira
‘The lion, the true person and Padmani, the virtuous-woman have
such a trait,
‘More they are afflicted, more they triumph ahead.’(7)
Chaupaee
When the bard had vocalised this, the honourable one listened
attentively.
When he arrived back in the palace, he summoned Sidh Pal.(8)
The Master expounded, ‘You are my intelligent Minister.
‘Now you go and endeavour to get me Padmani.(9)
Sidh Pal remarked like this, ‘Listen, My Emperor, acquiesce to my
request,
‘You mobilise all your army and let me go to (the country of) Sangla
Deep.(10)
‘If I have your permission, with all the army I will head towards that place.
‘I will eventuate a war there and, somehow, bring Padmani for
you’.(11)
Articulating thus, when the Raja reached back home, many types of
trumpets commenced blowing.
There was an enemy of his (Sidh Pal) who disclosed this secret to the
Honourable One,(12)
‘He has a daughter in his house with whom no Padmani or fairy
could compete.
‘You send some emissary and get her. If you don’t find her like
Padmani, only then you may raid Sangla Deep.’(13)
When the Honourable One heard this, he immediately sent a maid to
her house.
The maid was very pretty and clever as if she was the daughter of a deity.(14)
Clever as well as intelligent, she was like the offspring of the Cupid.
With fair colour and chewing beetle-nuts, she epitomised Moon in
(605)

the sky.(15)
The maid, who was adept in art-drawings, went to her house and
drew her image.
When she displayed the picture to the Emperor, he felt as if some one
had pierced his heart with a dagger.(16)
He lost his senses and without any injuries felt mutilated.
He felt devoid of his body as if a rattlesnake had bitten him.(17)
One day the Emperor arranged a festive dinner and invited all the
pretty women.
As soon as Sidh Pal’s daughter walked in, the whole gathering
sparkled, because she was prettier than them all.(18)
The Emperor saw the daughter of the Minster through a peep-whole;
he was enticed.
He felt his heart taken away by the woman, leaving back the dead-body.(19)
The Honourable One called all the Pathans (Soldiers) and sent them
(with a message) to the abode of Sidh Pal.
‘Either you handover your daughter to me or get ready to be
killed.’(20)
All the Pathans came to him and told what the Honourable One had
pronounced,
‘Sidh Pal, it is your good luck that the Emperor will come to your house.’(21)
When Sidh Pal heard this he shook his head in distress (and said),
‘Oh, God, why have You put us in such a predicament and provided
us with a daughter?(22)
‘If I do not hand over the daughter, all my tasks will be negated.
‘If I handover, then the honour of the Kashatris is ruined as no daughter
so far has gone to the houses ofPathans.’(23)
‘Till now, no Kashatri has ever given his daughter to the Turks
(Muslim).
‘The Rajputs have been doing this as they have been sending their
daughters to the houses of the Muslims.(24)
‘The Hadis (a clan) and the Kashatris never gave their daughters to
the Muslims.
‘The Kashatris who commit such tasks, are straight way sent to the
hell.(25) ‘
One who hands over his daughter to the Turks, he is degraded in the world.
‘The Kashatri who gives his daughter to Turk is denied the existence
here and hereafter.
(606)

‘Hadis have so far not given their daughters to Turks and no female
Kashatri has become Turk.(27)
‘But if I think rationally, I must get offended and go to the battlefield,
‘Laced with arm ours, pick up the enemies and kill them.’(28)
The girl, as well, called at her father and said,
‘Please don’t be scared, go and personally fight the Emperor.(29)
Arril
‘The days go by but the valorous acts of the brave people are always
remembered.
‘Dear Father, Don’t hand me over, but go and fight.
‘To give in charity and the use of the sword, both are two honourable
acts in the world.(30)
‘Never relinquish the sword, may be you have to shield the sword
with your head.
‘Oh, My Father, don’t run away, stay put in the battlefield, kill the
enemy, kill me and then kill yourself.(31)
Chaupaee
‘Listen, My Father, undertake some remedy and call in Shams-u-din.
‘When he comes, catch him, kill him and then come out to wage a
war.’(32)
Sidh Pal pondered over, what that the daughter had expounded, was
correct.
He emerged out of the palace and addressed the Pathans,(33)
‘They (kings) have been magnanimous and people like you and me
pay their obeisance at their feet.
‘Whatever they say we acquiesce and obey their orders.’(34)
Then all of them joined together and went to see the Emperor and
they felt elated,
As never before any Kashatri had given his daughter to the Muslims
but, they thought, they had achieved.(35)
The daughter again emphasised (to her father), ‘The birth as a Kashatri
comes once only.
‘There has never been a chance when a Kashatri-female went to the
Turks.(36).
‘Therefore, My Father, don’t hand me over and start to defend frow
tomorrow.
‘This tradition will go on for ever, either the Pathans will survive or
(607)

the Kashatris.(37)
‘After putting the armours, beat the drums and get intoxicated,
‘In the morning our war will commence and there will be a great
chaos.(38)
‘It is a war with the Emperor; all should wear saffron attire.
‘After taking opium, make the horses to gallop and brandish the spears
in the hands.(39)
‘Relinquish the desire to retain the breath and without fear display
the sword.
‘Go and savour cannabis and opium and then display your
debuts.’(40)
The Emperor gathered his army and came there to get marry.
When he reached the house of Sidh Pal, the girl again pronounced,(41)
‘When the enemy comes to your house, don’t destroy him but when
he is at his own place, just annihilate him.’
A boy named Lakhshman, disguised a woman, was put in the
palanquin and, along with seven hundred intrepid disguised as women,
was dispatched,( 42)
To the (Mughal’s) abode and they reached the place (of the enemy).
When he (Shams Din) pUt his hand in (apparently to fondle the
woman), Lakhshman took out dagger and killed him.( 43)
The dagger was so fast that no voice came out of the king’s mouth.
Then Lakhshman undisguised himself and addressed the people.(
44) ‘The king has sent me out to get the intoxicant and had asked me
to tell you,
‘That no body should come in and if any body did, he would be
terminated.’( 45)
Due to this deception, no security man checked him,
And when he reached his own army, there prevailed a great relief.(46)
Trumpets of happiness were blown and their (sounds) reached all the
three domains.
The drums, mirdang, muchang, nigare, pipes, and many other
instruments were executed. (47)
Dohira
When the drums were beaten, the ear piercing sounds emanated.
All the Khans (Muslims), who were there, came out with thrust.(48)
Chaupaee
‘Who is here, born of a dauntless lady, who has beaten the war-bugle?’
(608)

‘Who is there so naive, who does not acquiesce us (our army


strength).’(49)
Stressing like this, all the Khans jumped forward in groups.
Where the Lakhshman had killed Shams-u-din, all the army gathered there.(50)
They had come accompanied by valiant Lodhis and Niazis (warrior clans).
Also they were joined by Daoos, Zeyees, Ruhailas and galloping
Afghanis.(51)
Dohira
The Khans of fifty-two clans reached howling.
They were dressed so variably that it could not be narrated.(52)
Chaupaee
There was no dearth of horse-riders, who were galloping,
And, there, it seemed like dust-storm.(53)
There was so much turmoil in the town, it seemed as if the Sun had
turned upside down.
As the sea waves turned, so were the fish to face the death.(54)
Same as for a lonely boat in the whirl of stream, there was no one
insight to save.
The town was in predicament like the abandoned consort of Lord
Indra.(55)
Dohira
From this side, all the Kashatris raided, and from the other, the Pathans,
Oh, My Pious Ones, attentively listen to what had happened.(56)
Bhujang Pariyat Chhand
Laced with the bows, the army ofthe Pathans came, then all the
Kashatris leapt forward.
From both sides, arrows showered in such great intensity that there
was left no time to pull them.(57)
Getting furious, Lakhshman Kumar killed Hane Khan, the chief.
Many braves were cut and lying like the decapitated heads of the
sticks.(58)
They were lying down as if intoxicated by taking cannabis,
At some places dead camels were lying and some places fallen swords
were shinning.(59)
Here and there, the bows were lying like the cut sugar canes.
The daggers in stomachs, suffused with blood, were epitome of fish
in nets.( 60)
(609)

Somewhere the horses with gashing stomachs were lying and


somewhere the intoxicated elephants were roaming.
Somewhere Moond Mali (the shaven head gardener i.e. Shiva) was
preparing the garland of shaved-heads.(61)
Some were gnawing their teeth and were lying dead in the battlefield.
Somewhere the daggers and armours were scattered like the tailors
prepare the winter dresses.(62)
The blood out of elephants and horses were spurting like the fountains.
Where braves confronted the other braves, it seemed as if the dooms
day had approached.(63)
The trunks of thousands of elephan ts were dispersed along with the
dead intrepid.
Somewhere the brave ones with arm ours were dancing and there,
the mournful songs prevailed.( 64)
Some Khans were killed and some ran away and some were trampled
over by the horses.
Where the unbending soldiers were dominating, there came the group
with Sidh Pal.(69)
When the Pathans saw Sidh Pal, they could not control the arms in
their hands,
Some were annihilated and the other ran away like the leaves in the
storm.(70)
When Sidh Pal terminated all the Khans, and snatched all their horses
and trumpets.
Then the Pathans awaiting far away came ahead and, like inebriated
elephants, surrounded Sidh Pal.(74)
All those Pathans, who had runaway, came back and they roared on
both sides of Sidh Path.
‘Oh, you the Kashatris, where could you go? We will finish you in
the battle-field.’(75)
The intrepid flew into rage hearing this challenge, as he was laced
with all son of arms, and was quite adept in using them.
He ordered his army, which was like the one Lord Rama had bestowed
up on the monkey-troops.(76)
The whole army was enraged, and picking up all the weapons moved
forward.
Any Path an facing them was killed and some of them were thrown
on the sides of the fort.(78)
(610)

Many Pathans were disintegrated and even their horses abandoned


them.
Some of them were relinquishing their clothes and putting on female
apparel.(84 )
Those who fought valiantly were married by the fairies.
And those who were coward, were despatched to the hell.(86)
When all the Pathans were annihilated and none of those proud ones survived,
Delhi was overtaken, the Emperor was killed and the crown was
embraced on his own head.(91)
Sidh Pal had annihilated majority of the army and the rest went astray
here and there.
He took over the kingdom and had royal canopy put over himself.(n)
After taking over the sovereignty, he thought,
‘By killing the king, I have not performed a good deed.’
Whole night he kept on contemplating, and he decided to hand over
the kingdom in the morning to whomsoever he might meet.(93)
In the morning he met the servant of butcher who was going to the
river to throw the animal tripe.
He called him over, handed over the kingdom and gave him the name
of Jain Alavadi.(94)
Dohira
After handing over sovereignty, he, taking his daughter with him,
headed towards the jungle.
He went to Badri Nath and, along with his daughter, became an
ascetic.(95)
Dohira
When he contemplated for a long time, then the goddess of the world
manifested,
And said, ‘When you find a suitable match, get your daughter
married.’(96)
Chaupaee
(He said,) ‘Oh, My Eternal Mother, endow me this boon that I find a
worthy match for her.
‘Give me such a blessing that a Kashatris daughter does not go to the
house of the Muslim.(97)
‘I may forever remain at your feet and endow lot of wealth.
‘No enemy could ever with me and my mind may remain imbued in
(611)

your thought.’(98)
The Mother Goddess showered him a boon and made him the Raja
of Assam.
There, they never indulged in sycophancy and, remained without the
care of Delhi ruler.(99)
When the sovereignty is endowed by the goddess Bhawani, no one
can snatch away.
Till now he is the Raja of that place and all the miracles are conferred
on him.(100)
First she made her father to have quarrel with the Delhi King,
Then got him made the Raja of the country of Assam and that was the
chritar of the female.(101)

Tale of Jhilmil Devi
Chaupaee
A Shah had a wife who was very pretty and intelligent.
Her name was Jhilmil; there was none other like her.(1)
There was a Raja by the name of Roop Ket; he was very handsome
and brave.
All the enemies were afraid of him; he epitomised the Moon on the
earth.(2)
He had an obedient son who was unique in this world.
When Jhilmil Devi saw him she was enchanted.(3)
She fell in love with that boy so much that she felt her life imbued in
his. (To meet) him,
when she could not get any other chance, she disguised herself as a
male.( 4)
Dohira
Disguised as hunter, she went to his house.
Everybody regarded her as a man; no one doubted.(5)
(612)

Chaupaee
She would take the prince on hunting spree and get him to kill many deer.
She would roam around with the friend all alone in the garb of a
man.(6)
One day she did not come to her house and got a message sent to her
father that she had expired.(7)
The Shah believed it that she had died and never doubted her being
gone on hunting.
She would take the prince, roam around in the jungle everyday and
no body would come to know.(8)
Long time passed by and she completely prevailed over the prince.
He never doubted her as a male and just recognised her as a good
hunter.(9)
One day they went into the very thick woods; no other companion
followed them.
The day passed by, the night fell and they squatted under a tree.(10)
Suddenly a lion appeared who was exposing its sharp teeth.
The prince got scared on its sight but the Shah’s daughter calmed
him down.(11)
Immediately on his appearance, she aimed and, while the prince was
just watching, she killed it.
The prince said, ‘Whatever you desire ask for it.’(12)
Then she related to him the entire story, ‘My Prince, I am the daughter
of the Shah.
‘I have fallen in love with you and, that is why, I am disguised like
this.(13)
‘Now you love me, and considering me as your woman, take me to
your house.
‘The way I have cherished you, now you endow me your affection.’(14)
The prince was extremely delighted as if Rama had attained Sita.
He received her, like a hungry-man pounces on the food or god Nal
attained (goddess) Dameyanti.(15)
They made love under the same tree adopting various postures.
They had taken the skin of lion off, spread it and, then, the man and
woman revelled in sex on that.(16)
He proclaimed her as a fairy, as he had fallen in love with her.
Through this trick he accepted her as his woman but the father, Roop
Ket did not fathom the pretence.(17)
(613)

Dohira
Through this manoeuvre, he was made to bring her home.
People really considered her a fairy and no one appraised her as a
woman.(18)
Becoming a hunter she achieved the prince and from a deprived one
she turned into a princess.
All (the other royal ladies) remained just the queens but she became
supreme.(19)(1)

Tale of Achhal Devi
Chaupaee
Chander Choorh was a Raja in whose house lived a woman called
Chander Prabha.
There was no other female like her in the world and in facing her, the
humans and reptiles felt shamed.(l)
There was a very rich Shah with whom nobody in the world could vie.
He had daughter named Achhal Devi who surpassed all the pundits
in intelligence.(2)
Chander Choorh had a son who used to read Grammar and Shastras.
In describing his intellect a reed-pen as long as a sugar-cane could
abrade into a small pen.(3)
One day the prince went out on hunting and he saw the daughter of
the Shah.
He was captivated by her and the girl, too, fell in love.( 4)
She sent an intelligent maid to give this message to the prince,
‘Come to my house one day and make love with me.’(5)
Then the maid came to the prince and gave the message to him.
He respond happily and asked her to convey his intent,(6)
‘There is one auspicious Raja and it is heard that he resides overseas.
‘Avdhoot Mati is his daughter and there is no other person like her in
(614)

the world.(7)
‘First you go and get her to meet me and after that you can achieve me.
‘Except this, you may put in thousands of efforts, even then, 1 will
not come to revel with you.’(8)
The maid went and conveyed the message, which put the princess in
predicament.
She was astonished and she lost all her sleep and appetite.(9)
Till the time overseas journey was made, the princess would not attain
the harmony.
She made up her mind to go there and told her father, ‘1 am going on
a pilgrimage.’(I0)
She fully prepared herself and, mounting a horse, she commenced
her journey.
She arrived at Setbandh Rameswaram (the legendry bridge built by
Lord Rama) and contemplated.(ll)
She boarded the ship and reached Sangladeep (island).
She reached the place where, she had heard, Raja used to live.(l2)
She had gone there disguised as a man and embellishing many
ornaments.
When Avdhoot Mati saw her, she took him (her) as a prince from
some other country.(l3)
On her sight, the princess was captivated by Cupid and she felt all
her limbs aching. .
She thought in her mind, ‘1 must revel with him otherwise 1 will kill
myself with a dagger.’(14)
She bent her head to watch how could he (she) come forward.
He (she) galloped the horse and reached there like a lioness pounces
upon a deer.(l5)
He (she) pulled her out of the window and tied her with her own body.
She took to her heels but no guard could catch them.(l6)
She had her tied behind her back and whosoever came on her way
she killed him with an arrow.
She won her over, brought to her house and sent the maid to the prince,(17)
‘The task you wanted I have accomplished, now you keep up your promise.

went to their chambers.
The ladies felt distressed as their urge for the Cupid was not eliminated
without meeting their master.(3)
One day while all the Ranis were sitting together they talked it over,
‘The one has taken away the mind of our husband, what if the Rani
had died?( 4)
‘Why is he lamenting so much? Has he lost his wits?
‘Rajas are known to have many wives, only the Raja himself needed
to remain hale and hearty.’(5)
They called over an intelligent maid who, jovially, declared thus,
‘1 can obliterate Raja’s gloominess and get him to respond to you.’(6)
She apprehended a man, hid him in a dungeon and soliloquised while
letting the Raja to eavesdrop,
‘Down with such a Raja who cannot distinguish between the good
and the bad.’(7)
‘The woman had been making love with others whereas she just kept
the husband delighted.’
‘Raja would learn if he opens and views inside the dungeon and
comes to know the truth.’(8)
When the Raja heard this, he immediately went and opened the dungeon.
(616)

When he found a man there, he flew into a rage and said,(9)


‘Why did I remain dismal without realizing that she was disgraceful?
‘I will, now, make love with the other Ranis disregarding the deceased
one.’(10)
The Raja commenced revelling with other Ranis and renounced her
from his mind.
Through this chritar, the woman duped the Raja.
What a strange Chritar it was?(11)

Tale of Chhattar Devi

In his house he had a Rani known as Sorath Devi whose beauty
excelled all the people.(1)
There was a Shah by the name ofChhattar Sen who had Chhattar
Devi as his daughter.
There could never be a girl in the futUre as exquisite as she was.(2)
When she entered the prime of her youth, she lost all her childhood
chritars.
Her breast ripened as if they were moulded by the Cupid’s sculptor.(3)
She saw the prince Abharn Sen whose resplendence could not be

‘The one who has killed her own husband, what am I to her?’(7)
(She thought,) ‘The one, for whom I stayed my husband, he does not
wish to retain me.

to keep him.’(8)
She took a sword in her hand and, with both the hands, struck on his head.
The Raja raised hue and cry as she went hitting him repeatedly.(9)
(People thought,) ‘Just a couple of days of her husband’s death, she
is being hounded.

expounded),
‘As you have saved the honour of your widowhood, you are worthy
of reverence.’(11)(1)

Tale of Abharn Devi
Chaupaee
Abharn Singh Raja was prominent, as, even, the Sun felt modest
facing him.
Abharn Devi was his woman who was, it seemed, moulded out of the
molten of all the ornamen ts.(l)
She developed love with a friend; everyday she would make love
with him.
One day, the Raja came to know of this and he came to the chamber
of the lady.(2)
He caught him and killed him but let the Rani go scot-free,
As, he thought, it was not honourable to murder a woman.(3)
Many years passed by and, in spite of the Rani’s hard efforts,
The Raja never came to her house, and the Rani conceived a plan.(4)
The Rani camouflaged herself as an ascetic and deserted her house.
When, once, the Raja came out on hunting he put his horse on chase
trailing a deer.(5)
Coming out of the town, he went away a few miles and reached there
(619)

where no human soul was visible.


Estranged, he dismounted in a garden where the Rani had arrived
too.(6)
She was in the garb of an ascetic and had a bun of en tangled tresses
on her head.(7)
She had come to the garden where she could meet the Raja.
The Raja was lured by her looks and contemplated whether she was
a human or reptile.(8)
‘You the pretty one, you are the embodiment of what?
‘Are you a fairy, consort of the Cupid or the princess of the Moon?’(9)
He discussed with her the Vedas, Koka Shastara and Grammar.
She overpowered the Raja’s soul and, without apparent injury, she
pierced his heart.(l0)
Observing her unique countenance, he was overwhelmingly enticed
(and thought),
‘I can sacrifice all my incarnations if I achieve her.’(ll)
The Raja fancied her extremely, and her thought captivated his mind.
To make love with her, he proposed like this.(l2)
‘Come; let us make love as there is no one here to see us.
‘Why are you squandering your youth, rather, by becoming a Rani,
you will earn the compliments.(l3)
‘You should not dissipate the youth for which you are proud of and
which is not ever lasting.( 14)
‘Why be presumptuous of youth, which never remains forever?
‘Come, let us make love, before it is withered.(l5)
Arril
‘Never be proud of the wealth and the youth,
‘Oh, You the Young Lady, be blissful to me and get yourself extolled.
‘When the youth withers away and the old-age prevails, then you
will recollect this time and repent.’(16)
Chaupaee
(Rani,) ‘First you comply with what I say and, thereafter, you can
have sex with me.
‘Give me your hand in promise and assure me to fulfil it.(l7)
Arril
‘Primarily, you exonerate the fault of your Rani and then I will abide
by what you say.’
(620)

He gave his pledge to the woman and absolved her, which the ascetic
heard with her own ears.(18)
Chaupaee
(Now) The Raja would go to one Rani one day and the other on the second.
The Rani, in the disguise of an ascetic, would make love with the
Raja.(19)
The Raja deemed her to be a different woman and the fool could not
unveil the secret.
Never been able to discern the truth, he kept getting his head shaved
off.(20)(1)

Tale of Vidhiya Mati
Chaupaee
Bidahi Sen was a brave Raja who was epitome of the heroism and the
benevolence.
He was magnificent, communicative, definitive and had won over
many enemies.( 1)
Vidhiya Mati was his daughter, with whom no other human or female
reptile could compete.
Her couch was so exorbitantly delectable that the Moon and the Sun
paid their visits every day.(2)
The lady fell in love with a man, like the rain drops in the rainy season.
His name was Chatar Kum&r; no other person could be compared
with him.(3)
One day Vidhiya Devi called him over through coercion.
She revelled with him sexually and both, the man and the woman,
felt blissful.(4)
Some one informed Bidhi Sen, ‘Your daughter is calling a paramour
to her house.
‘She makes love with her and she is not afraid of you.’(5)
The furious Raja, taking that backbiter with him, took the way to her
(621)

house.
When Vidhiya Mati heard, she, along with her friend, was filled with
terror.( 6)
She dug two holes in the ceiling, over that route, she thought they
would be coming.
Through them they defecated and the excreta fell on the heads of the
backbiter together with the Raja.(7)
They became so blind that they could not see anything.
The Raja could not trace where the daughter had gone after making love.(8)
Both were drenched with excreta, as that man had defecated on their heads.
They took time to wash it away and, thereafter, they came back to the
house of the daughter.(9)
On arrival, the Raja looked around but did not find any friend.
Then, instead, he killed him whose head had been daubed with excreta.(10)
Through this deception, she saved her lover and put excreta on their faces.
The Raja did not distinguish between the good and bad but killed the
informer.(1l)(1)

Tripur Mati was his noble woman who was, as if, moulded out of
gold.(1)
Phool Mati was her co-wife and, to her, she was like a straw in the eyes.
She was Jealous of her but never expressed through her mouth.(2)

her to understand,
‘When the whole lot of people are sleeping, you start crying very loudly.’(4)
(622)

Instructing her like that she went to sleep with the Raja, and half the
night passed by.
The afflicted woman started to scream aloud and the Raja heard the
wailing.(5)
He grabbed a sword and took the Rani with him.
They both walked, reached her and asked her the cause.(6)
‘Who are you, why are you crying and what is distressing you?
‘Tell me the truth, otherwise I will kill you here and now.’(7)
(Reply,) ‘You just consider that I am the ‘age’ of the Raja and the
Raja is going to expire by the morning.
‘Thus, aggrieved, I am weeping, as all the Ranis will be detached from me.(5)
‘Some arrangement should be undertaken to save the Raja.’
And she added, ‘Only through one resolve, the Raja can be saved.(9)
‘You handover Tripur Mati to the Brahmin by taking her in a palanquin,
and carrying it on your own shoulders.
‘Leave her at the Brahmin’s place along with some wealth and, then,
Kal, the god of death, will not come.’(l0)
‘And Phool Devi, who is the second wife the Raja, should be handed
over to a Chandal, the wretch.
‘Tripur Mati should never be recalled and should never show her
face again.’(11)
Dohira
Next morning, in his palace, the Raja carried on as directed.
He handed over one Rani to the Brahmin and the second one to the wretch.
The blockhead did not understand the reality,
And to get rid of his apprehension, he handed over both the
wives.(13)(l)

Phut Basir Devi was his woman; there was no other as good as she.
Her resplendence could not be narrated as, even, the day borrowed
its light from her.(2)
There used to live a Kashatri called Haji Rai who was embodiment of
love and its aroma.
His splendour could not be narrated as he was like a garden thriving

make love with him.’( 4)

She tried hard but she could not coerce him to make love with her.
Wailing, she fell flat on the ground and shouted, ‘A witch has filched
my heart.’(7)
She had disguised him in female apparel when, hearing the shout of
a witch, people gathered.
When he was given a good beating, he confessed to what the Rani
had told.(8)
In the meantime, the Raja reached too and heard about her heart
taken out by that witch.
(He ordered,) ‘Either witch should put the heart back and make the
Rani alive or terminate the witch.’(9)
Then the Raja was made to stand away and he took Rani’s kisses.
Without realizing the reality, the Raja thought that he was putting
(626)

back the heart.(10)


Moving everybody away, he made enough love with the woman, saying,
‘Oh, My Love, if you save me today then I will, forever, obey your
order.’( 11)

of a nurse.
Then she went back to her husband and told, ‘The witch has returned
my heart.(12)
‘First she returned my heart, she went into contemplation.
‘Then, Oh My Auspicious Raja, I never saw her and I don’t know
which country has she fled to.’(13)
The Raja accepted it as factual but the fool had no idea of the truth.
Right in front of all, the friend made love with the woman, and, after
such a play, slipped out of vision.(14)
First, the woman invited the friend; when he did not agree, she
admonished him.
Then they played such a trick that, standing by, the Raja got his head

Tale of Daughter of Shah

Birat Sen was a prudent Raja who was honoured in all the countries.
Birah Manjri was his Rani who was acclaimed most pretty in all the
four directions.( 1)
In their house, a boy came who was epitome of the Sun.
(629)

His handsomeness was beyond narration and on his glimpse even


the eyes would refuse to blink.(2)
There was a daughter of a Shah whose beauty could not be recounted.
She appeared to be the queen of the Moon; the one which had never
(existed) in the past and would never be in the future.(3)
When she saw the prince, the Cupid’s arrow went through her heart.
She lost all her senses as the woman had fallen for him.( 4)
She expended the wealth outlandishly and sent many maids to him.
But why the prince did not come, perhaps she had not enticed him.(5)
She tried putting in hard efforts but she failed and could not get him
to revel with her.
Extremely infatuated, she was wandering like a she-deer pierced by
an arrow.(6)
Moaning, she would sometimes get up and sometimes dance and
vocalise,
‘Come, somebody, make my lover to meet me, all your ambitions
will be fulfilled.’(7)
One maid said, ‘Listen to me, my mistress,
‘If some one arranges your meeting with the friend, what will you
give me.’(8)
When the daughter of the Shah heard this, she felt as if she had been
rejuvenated,’
Like a pauper receives the wealth or a dead man gets the nectar of
life in his hand.(9)
She disguised herself as the one with whom she had fallen in love,
And, after entering the palace, started to expend vaguely,(l0)
‘Oh, You the Prince, the lady, who loves you most, has sent me to
you,
‘You have filched the heart of that lady and now you come with me
and endow her your love.’(11)
On hearing this, the Prince accompanied the maid without putting his
shoes even.
The fool, without understanding the deception, reached the door of
the Shah’s daughter.(12)
She extinguished the earthen candle and he entered the dark house.
The friend to whom she had given her heart, she made heartfelt love.(l3)
After having sex, he went back to his house and the fool did not
ponder over.
(630)

Every day she would invite him and, after extinguishing the lamp,
make love with him.(l4)
Whatever she had promised, she gave to the maid and carnally reveled
with the prince.
The fool did not perceive the secret and got his head shaved off
(accepted humiliation).(l5)(l)

Saniyaas Mati was his wife who was very wise and talented.(l)
After sometime she gave birth to a son who was given the education
of Raam Bairaag.
Growing and growing young, he turned out to be a very handsome.(2)
There used to live a daughter of a Jat, the peasant, who saw the prince
and fell in love with him.
She would go to his house every day but the prince would not, even,
look at her.(3)

She contemplated to put or the garb of an ascetic.( 4)
Disguised as an austere, she went to his house and performed many
incantations.
She filched his heart and stole all the wealth from his house.(5)
One day she told him, ‘The ascetics can make dead bodies to get up.
‘You come with me and experience this miracle.’(6)
Dohira
‘So far, 1 have not seen a dead body becoming alive,
‘Now, through my affection with the ascetic, I will see that too.’(7)
Chaupee
When half the night had gone and it was pitch dark, the prince thought,
(631)

‘I will go alone with the ascetic and watch the getting up of a dead
body and come home.’(8)
He left along with the ascetic without understanding the female deception.
He was all alone and had not taken any arms with him.(9)
When they arrived in the thick forest, where there was no one else present,
The woman said, ‘My Dear Prince, Listen to me,(lO)
Woman Talk
‘Either you forget the desire of retaining life or you come and make
love with me.
‘Either 1 will cut you into seven pieces or you lay the male-organ in
my vagina.’(11)
As the prince got extremely terrified, he made love with the woman.
She had deceived him through this trick and had sex with him.(l2)
Nobody has ever reached the depths of woman’s mind and, even,
Brahma, the Creator repented after making them.
The One who instituted the Universe, he could not understand the
female traits.(l3)

The Raja flew into the rage and pounced towards her direction.(6)
The woman started to scream, ‘Oh, Raja, you have cut my nose off.’
The Raja came forward and noticed her face drenched in blood.(7)
Then the Raja raised a wail too, ‘I had never meant this way.’
See, the clever act of the woman, she put all the blame on the Raja.(8)
Dohira
The Raja never envisioned the real motive,
And took the blame of the action upon himself.(9)(1)

Tale of Sukmaar Devi
Chaupaee
In a country in the south, there was a Raja named Dakhshan Sen; he
was adept in the Shastaras and Simrties.
In his house, he had a woman called Sudhakhan Devi who was the
embodiment of the Moon.(l)
The Rani’s magnificence caused, even, the Sun to feel humble.
The Raja was mad about her as is a black bee for the Lotus-flower.(2)
There used to live a daughter of a Shah who came to learn about the
Raja’s traits.
Her name was Sukmaar Devi; there was none like her in the world.(3)
As soon as she saw the Raja, she contemplated,
‘What steps should I take to entice him and make him to disregard
his wife.’( 4)
She took all her garments off and put the mourning apparels on.
She installed herself in the front of his house; no one envisaged the
trickery.( 5)
(633)

After a few days, the Raja came out to go to visit the town.
To learn about the people, he had disguised himself as an ascetic.( 6)
The woman, who was in the garb of ascetic too, thought,
‘What has happened to the foolish Raja who has come out to listen to
the people in the attire of a hermit.(7)
(She soliloquised loudly,) ‘The Rani, which indulges in perversion,
the Raja goes to her house every day.
‘The Raja presumes that she loves him, but she goes to bed with
others too.’(8)
When the Raja heard this through his own ears, he went and asked her,
‘Oh, you the holy-lady, what the Raja should do, how could he get
rid of this anomaly?’(9)
(Reply,) ‘That woman is not suitable for the Raja and is worth killing
or casting out of the house.
‘One should associate with her, not even, for a moment, as the woman
revels in debauchery.(l0)
‘There is only one women befitting the Raja, who is born in royalty.
‘The way a Raja is the protector of men, she is the defender of
women.(11)
‘When the Raja brings her, his sovereignty will blossom.
‘All the other woman should be obscured, the way it happens to the
stars when the Sun comes out.’(l2)
When the Raja heard this, he made up his mind to abandon that base
lady (his Rani),
And bring the daughter of the Shah as his premier queen.(l3)
In the morning, when he arrived home, he summoned the Brahmin
priests.
He adopted the Shah’s daughter as his superior queen and deserted
the Rani from his heart.(14)
Dohira
Through this deception, that woman made the Raja to relinquish the Rani,
And she achieved the bliss by meeting the Raja.(l5)

Tale of Pachham Devi
Chaupaee
In the city of Etawa at the bank of Ganga, the Raja Pacham Pal used
to rule.
He had a woman called Pachham Devi in his house; not even, the
wives of the gods and devils were like her.(1)
When the Rani saw a carpenter, her libidinous desires augmented.
She enhanced her love for him and slighted the Raja.(2)
She was so much entangled with him that she totally discarded her
husband.
She took some liquid with red ochre in her mouth and then spit it out
in the presence of the Raja.(3)
Raja thought that the blood had poured out of the Rani’s mouth, which
he could not bear.
He sent for all the hakims, the doctor, to find out the remedy.( 4)
She once again took the liquid in her mouth, and, let every body see
when she sputtered out.
Then she said to her husband, ‘Now, you deem the Rani as the dead
one.’(5)
The Rani said, ‘Listen, My Raja, don’t look at my face again,
‘And neither let any body else and yourself, and after the cremation,
rerurn to your house.’(6)
The fool regarded her chatter to be truthful, as she withheld her breath
as if she was dead.
The tears rolled down his eyes and, finding an opportunity, she fled
with her friend.(7)
After wiping out his eyes what he saw, the Rani’s body had vanished.
The companions tattered, ‘The imprudent Raja cannot acquiesce this
secret.’(8)
(Raja,) ‘Abandoning us on the earth, the Rani has departed for the
heavens,’
The blockhead thought, ‘She has flown to the firmament along with
her body.(9)
‘All the auspicious people are worthy of such treat,
‘Those, who have put their minds into the Almighty, the Kal, the
death, does not come near them.(10)
(635)

‘Those remain in the remembrance with concentrated minds, they


depart, corporeally, for the celestial heights.’
But the fool had no idea of the reality and had accepted all that
happened as true.(11)(1)

Tale of Bang Devi
Chaupaee
It is heard that there was a city called Sunaar Gaanv and the Raja
Bangaali Sen used to inhabit the place.
Sri Bangaal Mati was his Rani, whose charm was renowned in all the
fourteen regions.(1)
She had a daughter named Bang Devi; there was no other lady as
pretty as she.
When she saw one man, she was captivated by the urge for the Cupid.(2)
Screaming, ‘pain, pain’ she fell flat on the ground like a frieze in the wind.
When she regained consciousness, she called Suchabar Rai and,
blissfully, rejoiced the sex.(3)
She was entangled in the love of her friend like one who is drenched
in the rainy-season.
She had fallen flat after shouting ‘pain, pain’ and her parents and the
friends gathered round her.( 4)
‘Oh, my mother, consider your daughter is dead, and dear father, you
must admit that the daughter will not come to life.
‘You act the way I ask you; after enshrouding me, you never open to
see my face.(5)
‘If you don’t proceed this way, your daughter will be tormented.
‘Please don’t lament and forgive me for my transgressions.(6)
‘I have not shown my face to the Sun and the Moon, then, why should
one see my limbs now.’
She withheld the breath as if she had died, and the friends enshrouded
her.(7)
(636)

On top of the coffin-plank a dead goat was tied and the parents did
not open to see.
They abided by the will of their daughter and cremated the goat (in
disguise).(8)
The princess went away with the friend but no body realised the truth.
The parents thought that their daughter had passed away. No one can
fathom the Female deceptions.(9)( 1)

Tale of Puhap Prabha
Chaupaee
The Minister narrated another anecdote; Gora Raja used to rule in
Bengal.
Saman Prabha was his premier Rani; there has never been one like
her before.(1)
Puhap Prabha was a princess; no one like that had existed before.
Her beauty had no bounds; even the flowers appeared to have
borrowed their pinkness from her,(2) .
Her comeliness had fallen on the earth, where the flowers sprang up.
The juice, which seeped from her cheeks and fell on the ground,
turned into the rose.(3)
When the youthfulness commenced to depict out of her body, a Shah
came there.
He had a son with him and both the father and the son were the
embodiment of Cupid.(4)
His name was Gazi Rai; he was like a bangle in the arm of the Cupid.
He epitomised ornamentation and, as well as, afflicted the enemies.(5)
When Puhap Prabha saw him, she lost herself; all her mind, body and soul.
‘What should I do so that I get engaged to him.’?(6)
She had arranged a Swayamber to choose her husband, and, there,
she put garland around his head.
(637)

All the princes (gathered there for selection) were dumbfounded.(7)


They took him as a prince, too and none of them reflected that he
could be just the son of a Shah.(8)
Even, her father and mother did not realised the secret, and through
such action she deceived every body.(9)

Tale of Muni Raj Mati
Chaupaee
Listen, My Sovereign, I narrate to you an account:
The place where the gods had churned the sea,
There used to live a prominent sage who, the whole world revered as
the most miraculous.(1)
A woman, Muni Raj Mati, lived there and she was very pretty.
Neither there had been such a lady and nor Brahma ever created
before.(2)
When the gods commenced to churn the sea, they could not and they
were aggrieved.
Then the woman said, ‘Oh, you the gods, listen to me,(3)
‘If the Brahma, holding a pitcher on his head, fetches water from the sea,
‘Then comes and washes my feet, only then this operation will be
accomplished.’( 4)
The desperate Brahma did not ponder over and taking the pitcher on
his head went to fetch the water.
See the deceptions of the woman, they tricked Brahma (the Creator)
as well.(5)(1)

Twenty Tale of Rukmani
Chaupaee
When the Earth was severely afflicted with the burden of vices, it
went to Brahma, wailing her anguish.
Brahma served Vishnu and, then, Krishna took birth in the world.(1)
Kans was the incarnation of the devils and was an adversary in the
life heretofore.
They claimed to annihilate him (Krishna) and, consequently, they
sent the devils every day.(2)
(639)

First of all Krishna killed Putna and, then, liberated Sakatasar from
existence.
He annihilated the devils Bakasar and pulled out Brikh Bhasar like a
tree.(3)
He eliminated the sins of Aghasur and then, heaving him through his
feet, he finished Kaisi.
To show his feat to Brahma, he defeated lndra by lifting mountain on
his hand.(4)
He got Nand released from Varan and met the offspring of Sandeepan.
He saved the milk-men from Davanal and, then, sported with them in
the land of Brij Bhoomy.(5)
He pulled the tusk ofthe Kuwlia elephant and showered Chandur
with fists.
He thrashed Kans holding from his hair and, then placed royal-canopy
on the head of Ugarsen.(6)
He annihilated the army ofJrasandh and, by killing Sankhasur,
snatched the conch-shell.
Winning over the Rajas of many countries, he headed towards the
city of Dwaraka.(7)
After killing Dantburk and N arkasur, he married sixteen thousand
women.
He fetched the Parjat tree from the heaven and, then in Brindaban, he
enacted the dance-drama.(8)
He won over the Pandavs and saved the honour of Dropadi.
He annihilated the con tingen t ofKauravs and never let the sain ts
suffer.(9)
If I (poet) start giving the full details, then it will increase the volume
of the granth enormously.
I am giving the brief description, and any mistake could be rectified
if found.(10)
Now I am going to narrate the story ofRukmani who married the man
of many chritars like Krishna.
(She) wrote and sent a letter through a Brahmin priest and conveyed
the message,(11)
Savaiyya
‘I have been assigned to marry Shishupal, who is coming with
marriage party to wed me.
‘I am fallen for Madhusoodha (Krishna), on whose brilliance, even,
(640)

the gold forgets its lustre.’


The rain-drops quench the thirst of pied-cuckoo and I feel the same
for Ghanishyam (Krishna).
‘I am fallen aback, my heart-ache has not ceased, as, alas, my Krishna
has not come.’(12)
Chaupaee
On receiving the letter, Krishna mounted the chariot, as I fthe Cupid
had plundered him.
From the other side, Shishpal, gathering his army, approached the
city of Kundan Puree.(l3)
Rukmani revealed all the secret to the Brahmin, ‘Convey to my life
sustainer,
‘When I come to pray to the goddess, I will have the glimpse of your
Moon -like visage.(14)
Dohira
‘Then, holding my arms, you pull me up the chariot,
‘And exterminating all the enemies to make me your wife.’(l 5)
Chaupaee
Rukman (the prince) commenced the preparations for her marriage
and prepared variety of viands.
He was jovially roaming around the cluster of females, without the
care of any chicanery.(16)
To pray at the goddess he sent his sister, where Krishna beheld her.
The adversaries were amazed and were left in amazement.(l7)
Bhujang Chhand
After putting her in the chariot, Krishna drove, then all the intrepid
flew into the rage.
Where ever the Sindh and other braves were, they all girded their
lions and took to the arms.(18)
Many saddled their horses and many more mounted their horses
adorned with beautiful garments.(19)
Then Rukman, along with all his brothers came forward.
From all the four directions, the arrows started to shower and the war
was eventuated.(20)
The fast moving arrows struck each other and the sparks emanated.
The armours were scattered and the vultures were relishing at the
flesh.(22)
(641)

Getting furious, the ones from the Chandel (country) came running
and jumping in groups.
They all surrounded Krishna like the bearer of spears encircle the
elephant.(24)
Krishna flew into the rage and annihilated Chandels, Maghels, and Bundels.
Then he threw an arrow at Chandrisi (the Raja), he fell flat and could
not get up.(25)
Chaupaee
Then he shot at Jrasandh and, without containing his arms, he ran away.
Those who fought, were killed and those who ran away, were saved,
and Shishpal absconded to Chandel.(26)
Rukman reached there too and involved Krishna in a fierce fight.
In spite of the heavy shooting of arrows, he was losing as Krishna
had kept up his spirit.(27)
With great determination he came forward to give a tough fight.
But Krishna threw a fierce arrow and he was downed on the
ground.(28)
First he shaved his head off and then tied him with the chariot.
But Rukmani, taking into consideration the brotherhood, and feeling
humiliating, got him free, and Shishpal went back to his abode.(29)
Dohira
Through this chritar, forfeiting the woman, the Chandels left for their
town of Chanderi.
All the Chandels were ashamed as they had come back after losing
the woman.(30)

Tale of Devjaani
Chaupaee
Shukracharya was the preceptor of the demons, who inhabited
Shukravattipur.
(642)

The demons who were killed by the gods, he used to make them
alive with Sanjeevni, the revivifying herb.(l)
Devjaani was his devilish daughter who was highly esteemed.
Kachh was an emissary of the deities; he, once, came to the house of
Shukracharya.(2)
He enticed Devjaani extremely and, somehow, filched her heart.
The king of the gods had sent him, deceptively, to obtain the
revivifying herb.(3)
When the demons learnt about this mission, he killed him and threw
in the stream.
When it was very late, he had not returned, Devjaani felt distressed.(4)
She requested her father and got his life restored, which up set the
demons very much.
They would kill him everyday but Shukracharya revived him every time.(5)
At the end, after killing him, they dissolved him in the wine and
served that, along with the cooked leftover, to Shukracharya.
Finding him nowhere, Devjaani felt tormented and asked her father,(6)
‘So far, Kuchh has not come back and it appears some demon has
chewed him.
‘Please, Father, through the herb bring him to life and eliminate my
affliction.’(7)
Shukracharya went into meditation and found that Kuchh was in his
stomach.
After taking the herb, he tore his stomach and took him out(8)
As soon as he came out, Shukracharya died, and, then, Kuchh made
him dynamic through the plant.
He passed a cruse upon the wine, ‘1 will never drink you again.’(9)
Then Devjaani thought over, and relinquishing her modesty, asked
Kuchh,
‘Come and eliminate my libidinous appetite through love making.’(l0)
Although the Cupid was dominating her, he did not acquiesce.
Devjaani flew into a rage, ‘Why has he not agreed to make love with
me.’(11)
She passed a curse on him, whose story I (the poet) am narrating,
‘Oh, you the sinner, you will not remember the incantation and you
will never be able to make the gods alive.’(l2)
Previously, Devjaani used to put him to sleep with efforts but now,
being irritated, she passed damnation,
(643)

And said to her father, ‘He has been sent by the gods.(l3)
‘Now 1 request you, my father, don’t let him have the incantation of
revivifying drug as, if he goes back then Devraj, the lord of gods,
will never be caught by us.(l4)
‘Dear Father, Listen to me and don’t endow him with the incantation.
‘Without understanding the mystery, he passed a curse upon him
annulling the capability of incantation.(l5)
Many a time she had brought him to life but, at the end, she got him
cursed for not making love.
No one can understand the traits of the women, not even Brahma
who created them.(l6)(l)

Tale of Makrachh Mati
Chaupaee
Oh, My Sovereign, now I narrate to you a story which has been
prevailing in my mind:
Where there was the country of Chhaj Karan, there ruled a Raja named
Suchhab Ket.(1)
He had a woman called Achraj Devi in his household; she seemed to
be moulded out of molten gold.
She had a daughter by the name of Makrachh Mati who had captured
the rays of the Moon.(2)
When the woman passed the age of puberty, she fell in love with the
son 9f a Shah.
She would make love with him and appease him through many
postures.(3)
This secret was revealed to the Raja by some one, who had
apprehended the princess in the house,
Where, neither a bird could come, nor the air wandered freely.(4)
Without her friend, she felt distressful and she summoned one intrepid.
(644)

She asked him, ‘You go, pick up my friend’s bed and bring it here.’(5)
Getting the order, he went out immediately and brought his bed.
She rejoiced sex with the prince and then sent him back to his
house.(6)
Dohira
One-day princess’s father came to the daughter’s house,
Seeing her bed in disarray, some doubt captured his mind.(7)
Chaupaee
Strewn with worries, he returned to his palace and announced in the city,
‘If any body came to buy the flowers, he should not be allowed
without my permission.(8)
When time for the sale of the flowers came, the Raja reached there to
see himself.
There came an ascetic who bought seven kilos of flowers and paid
cash.(9)
The ascetic bought the flowers and left but the Raja followed him.
Walking and walking they reached a thick jungle where no other
human being was visible.(10)
The ascetic undid his tresses and out came a woman.
He made love with her in various ways and after getting rid of his
agony, went to sleep.(1I)
When he had gone into deep slumber, she undid her tresses.
Out of them she recovered a man and rejoiced with him sexually.(12)
Raja saw the entire happening, and, with folded hands, asked the ascetic,
‘Please pay a visit to my house tomorrow and have your auspicious
meals with me.(13)
Early next morning, with saffron clothes on, the ascetic came to his house.
He had adorned himself to look like a very pious man.(14)
Leading him, the Raja travelled towards his daughter’s house.
There, setting the meal in three plates he presented the food to him.(15)
The ascetic said, ‘Why are you making fun with me?
‘I am all alone, how could I eat all that which is meant for three.’(16)
‘One placing is for you and the second for the person in your tresses,
‘And, somehow, undoing the tresses, bring out the woman.’(17)
Raja put the third plate before him and said to him jovially,
‘Now you serve this third one to him.’(18)
Somehow, the Raja brought him out and, then, said to the daughter,
‘Put all the three plates before them, and all the three to eat.’(19)
(645)

When she observed her father’s such a taxing endeavour, she was
astonished.
She had called the intrepid and the friend, and three of them had
eaten the meal.(20)
She felt distressed, as the Raja had seen the entire happening,
‘What should 1 do now to get out from here with some
deception.?’(21)
She called in the intrepid, and through an incantation both the father
and the ascetic were made blind.
Herself, she absconded with the friend, and no body doubted.(22)
When everybody became blind, the Raja pronounced,
‘A hakeem should be invited who must treat the eyes of all the
people.’(23)
The daughter, disguised as the hakeem, came there and remedied
father’s eyes.
In reward she asked for the same man with whom she had fled.(24)
Through this trick, the woman got the same man as husband whom
she had revelled with.
The female trickeries are endless and, even, the Creator repented after
making them.(25)(1)

Tale of Parmud Sen
Chaupaee
Bhadhar Sen was a very brave Raja who had won over many enemies.
He used to live in the city of Bhera and many Rajas paid him levies.(l)
Kumdani was his wife, she was, as if, the Creator had, himself, created her.
Her splendour could not be narrated as she was the epitome of a
blossoming garden.(2)
She gave birth to a son, called Parmud Sen, who was the embodiment
of Cupid.
His grandeur could not be delineated and all, the rich and the poor,
(646)

came to see him.(3)


When that prince grew in age his chritars were enhanced colossally.
He bade goodbye to the adolescent, and, through all his limbs, the
Cupid depicted itself.(4)
There came a daughter of a Shah and the prince was extremely enticed.
He felt an urge to meet her; he sent a maid to her.(5)
The maid came back and told, ‘The Shah’s daughter has been captivated
by you.
‘You go to her house and try to make love with her in various ways.’(6)
(Shah’s daughter,) ‘There are two Muslim priests in the town and
both are creating trouble for me.
‘If you terminate them both, only then, you can make love with
me.’(7)
After listening to her talk, he disguised himself as a woman and put
on clothes of their type.
With unsheathed sword in his hand, he headed to the side where they
were having prayer in nimaz.(8)
When all of them had completed their nimaz and bowed their head
down,
At an opportune moment, he cut the heads of both of them.(9)
This way he killed both the Muslims and, then, came back and had
sex with the lover.
No one could know the reason and just thought some adversary had
killed them.(10)
Dohira
After annihilating two Muslims, he had come back and revelled with
the friend.
Both the demons and the gods even, cannot understand the female
stratagems.(1l)(1 )

Twenty-fourth Tale of Apsra Mati

Chaupaee
The Minister commenced the story in which a Raja was engrossed in love:
In the city of Surat, there was a Raja named Surat Sen who was the
embodiment of the Cupid.(1)
His wife, Achra Devi, was, as if, moulded out of molten of gold.
Apsra Mati was their daughter who was enticed by the humans,
demons and the gods.(2)
Surid Sen was the son of a Shah; there was none other like him.
The princes fell in love with him and lost all her sensibilities.(3)
She sent a clever maid, who brought him disguised as a female.
When the youth met youth, they heartily revelled in sex.( 4)
They adopted variety of postures and kissed each other in turn.
He was so extremely involved that he lost the sense of going back.(5)
He had adorned the attire of a female but whatever the lady asked for he did.
He would indulge in sex adopting many poses and, through many
techniques, endowed her bliss.(6)
The father had no perception of the reality and took him as his
daughter’s companion.
The fool did not understand and considered her just a maid.(7)
One day, in the presence of her father, she was immersed in
lovemaking.
She declared him as a male, conducted a Swayamber and married him.(8)
Then she settled down with distressful mind and soliloquised making
it audible to the mother and father,
‘What predicament I am put into as they (gods) are turning my mate
into my husband.(9)
‘Now; my childhood playmate will be made to become my husband.
‘If I am virtuous, then let she be converted into a male.(10)
‘If I am righteous, then, she will be transformed into man.
‘She will take the life of a male to make love with me.’(11)
The Raja was astonished to hear this, and, along with the Rani, thought
over,
‘What type of talks she is indulging in? How strange is all this?’(l2)
When the Raja undressed him, he found what she had articulated.
(648)

Without pondering over the anomaly, he deemed her to be an ethical


wife.(13)

The women are satiated with the men who keep on making love for
two watches.
The one who’ revels in sex for four watches, why wouldn’t he filch
the heart of a woman.(l2)
Whole night he kept on having sex and employed many postures.
He hugged her a lot and pinched her with his nails.(l3)
They submitted in many stances and he took her under his arms.
Embracing and pricking, they used all the traits in Koka Shastara.(l4)
Dohira
They took lot of cannabis, wines and opium,
And made love for four watches, but no semen was discharged.(l5)
Chaupaee
They would spend whole night in making love and made the bed go
topsy-turvy.
When the Sun rose, she would, along with the husband, put the bed
in order.(l6 )
Keeping each other in embrace, they kept on lying in the bed, relishing
opium and cannabis.
They would again revel in sex and discuss the intricacies of Koka
Shastara.(l7)
Tired and imbued in wine they went to sleep,
And, then, got up, had sex and recited poetry to each other.(l8)
In the meantime her foolish husband walked in.
The clever woman took him in her arms and cunningly killed him.(19)
She hid her friend in a dungeon and for the dead husband,
She raised hue and cry for the Raja and the subject to hear.(20)
The Raja and all the poor people came and saw her dead husband.
The Raja asked, ‘Dear Daughter, how has this happened?’(2l)
‘Listen, Dear Father, I don’t know but I will tell you the disease he
was suffering in.
‘He was alive now and, suddenly, just like that, breathed his last.(22)
‘If I have been left with some righteousness and the Vedas are truthful,
‘Then I will perform the benediction and get him alive.(23)
(650)

‘You all take your seats in this courtyard and pray to Shiva.
‘I will take him inside the house and through the blessings of Shiva
get him dynamic again.’(24)
She made the father and mother to wait in the courtyard and invited
the macebearers and the Brahmins.
Where she had hidden the paramour, she took the dead-body of the
husband.(25)
In that house, she shut both the doors and then revelled in sex jovially.
Whereas the Raja, along with other people sat there contemplating,
without understanding the deception,(26)
Every body concluded that he was pondering over the act of his daughter.
They waited for the truth to come out and were spreading
dissonance,(27)
‘If she has reverence for Shiva and is paying obeisance on his feet,
‘Then it will not take it long to bring him to life and the dead-body
will get up meditating
Siva’s name.’(28)
Here, at the door, they all were passing judgment, there, the woman
was revelling in sex.
As they were jostling with hard strokes, they (people) thought they
were raising voices to please Shiva.(29)
There, where she indulged in sex with the friend, she dug out and
buried the husband.
She left no part of body visible and came out announcing,(30)
‘When I contemplated on Shiva, Shiva told me,
“Oh my daughter, Come, desire whatever you want now.”(31)
‘I said, “If you think I sincerely revere at your feet,
“Then, please bring my husband into life again.”
‘Oh My Raja, You believe me, he pronounced,(32)
Dohira
“I will make him much more young and handsome what he was before.”
‘With blessing of Shiva, my husband is alive now.’(33)
Every body accepted it as true and considered it as the factual assertion
of Shiva
From then on, eliminating all her fears, she commenced to have
heartfelt sex with him.(34)

Tale of Sukch Mati
Chaupaee
Geharvar was a very brave Raja who had never been perturbed.
Goorh Mati was his woman whose adoration was beyond narration.(1)
There used to live an auspicious Shah, who was very handsome,
intelligent and cordial.
He had a daughter called Sukch Mati, who radiated like the Sun.(2)
There came a trader who was so rich that his wealth could not be counted.
He had camel loads of condiments containing innumerable cloves
and cardamoms.(3)
He stayed at the house of the Shah.
At an opportune time, the daughter plundered all his goods.(4)
She moved away all the goods from the house and then put it on fire.
The crying daughter came to her father and told that the house had
been burnt down.(5)
Hearing the news, both the businessmen came running thinking to
take the belongings out.
But, when they reached there, they found the whole house reduced
into ashes.(6)
Then the daughter said, ‘Dear Father, I am distressed too.
‘I am not worried about our goods but his loss is very perturbing.’(7)
Then the Shah said to his daughter, ‘Whatever was destined, has happened.
‘You may not get worried, whatever he has lost, we will compensate him.’(8)
He did not know the truth and got his head shaved off (accepted
humiliation).
He thought it to be his destiny, but who could expose the degeneration
of women.(9)
Through the deceit, the daughter stole all the wealth and, even, the
father could not understand the secret.
In spite his wisdom he got his hair pulled off without, even, being
softened with water.

Tale of Achla Mati
Chaupaee
In the city of Achlawati, there was a Raja celled Achal Sen.
Achla Devi was his wife whose charm prevailed in all the four
domains.( 1)
He had another wife called Achla Mati who surpassed her in
comeliness.
Raja fancied her most, and all, the high and the low, appreciated their
love.(2)
The second wife planned to perform a deception and she trammelled
a maid for the purpose.
She gave her a lot of money but the first one had no knowledge of this.(3)
(She-Achla Mati told the maid,) ‘When it is midnight and no body is awake,
‘And you will notice a candle burning in the palace, then you tell the
Raja,(4)
“Oh, My Raja, you just deem me as a hidden wealth.
“After terminating Achla Devi, you take this wealth out and bring it
home.’(5)
When Achla Devi learnt this, she called that lady and told her other
way around,
‘Give me a promise, you name her (Achla Mati) to the Raja instead
of me.’(6)
The first one (Achla Mati) had given her enough money but she (Achla
Devi) doubled the amount.
At the assigned place she lit a candle, and, there, the woman said,(7)
‘Oh, My Raja, you just deem me as the wealth, the one which was
hidden by Raja Biket Ket.
‘Kill your wife and take away the wealth to relish.’(8)
At midnight, the voice came again at the place where the Raja was
sleeping with the Rani,
‘Keep me, the wealth, in your home and achieve me after killing
your wife.’(9)
(653)

The Rani (Achla Mati) who had originally devised the trick, Raja
announced her name,
And, incited by greed, the Raja killed her.(l0)
The one who had conceived the plan, it bounced back on her.
The other woman gave much more wealth but, instead, she got her
killed.(11)
The one who wishes bad for somebody else, he faces adversity
himself.
You get the same type of reward as you plan for others; she wanted to
kill but instead got herself terminated.(l2)(1)

Tale of Pir Kutab Shah
Chaupaee
Thanmb Karan was the Raja of the country ofThanmber; he was
humble to the saints but enemy of the rivals.
There was a very good-looking dog, which looked like a lion.(l)
One day it came to the house ofrhe Raja and the Raja hit it with a
stone to push it away.
The woman adored the dog and the hitting with the stone agonized
her mind.(2)
Struck with the stone, the dog died, and the Rani put blame on the Raja.
The Rani said, ‘What if the dog is dead, there are thousands of such
dogs in our house.(3)
‘You have been revering and worshipping it like a peer.’
She added with a taunt, ‘I will worship it and make many honourable
people to fetch water (to perform its menial service).’(4)
She dug the ground there, buried the dog and assigned him the name
of Kutab Shah.
She prepared the grave in such a way that it looked like the tomb of
a Muslim sage.(5)
She went there one day and presented sacred-pudding,
(654)

And pronounced, ‘Sukhdai (blissful) Peer has fulfilled my desire.(6)


‘1 was awaken by the Peer from my slumber, and he showed me his grave.
‘My aspirations have been fulfilled and, that is why, I have come
here to pay my obeisance.’(7)
When the people of the town heard this, they flocked to the place for
pilgrimage.
They started to present a variety of offerings and went back after
kissing the grave.(8)
The quazies, sheikhs and Sayeds (Muslim clergy) started to pay visits.
They presented their submissions and brushed the grave with their
own beards.(9)
Dohira
The lady performed such an chritar of her dog that,
Till today, people go there on pilgrimage considering it as a shrine of
Kutab Shah.(1 0)(1)

Tale of Birah Devi
Chaupaee
In the city of Birhavati in the South, there was a Raja called Birah Sen.
Birah Devi was his wife, who was as passionate as fire.(1)
Their daughter was known as Ishaq Devi (epitome of love) whose
beauty equated with the Moon and the Sun.
There was no other lady like her, as she, herself, was an archetypical.(2)
Her beauty surpassed so much that, even, the Lord Indra’s consort
could not be compared with her.
She was renowned all over the world, and the gods revered her as well.(3)
Kanchan Sen was a demon, which was very fierce and merciless.
He eradicated the adversity of all the other demons, and, anyone
who displayed superiority, was finished by him.( 4)
He used to come into the town at night and eat one man.
Every body got worried and they assembled to ponder over the
mtter.(5)
This demon was fearless and used to live on consuming the human beings.
He was not afraid of any one and roamed around fearlessly.(6)
The town, where he appeared every day to eat some body, there lived
a prostitute.
Once she came to see the Raja and, on seeing him, she was lured by
his looks.(7)
She said to the Raja, ‘If you endure me in your house,
‘Then I will kill the demon and eradicate the peril faced by the town.’(8)
‘Oh, Woman, if you annihilate the demon, then I will marry you.
‘That will make all the subject to live in peace and their afflictions
will be obliterated.’(9)
Then eight hundred bulls were collected and foods of various types
were arranged,
(656)

And an untold amount of seven-times decanted wine was collected,(l0)


Varieties of viands were prepared and different types of poisons were
mixed in them.
After making many donkeys to eat opium, they were let loose inside
the boundary of the demons.(11)
At midnight, the demon came and chewed all the donkeys and bulls.
He over ate the victuals, and drank cups after cups of wine.(12)
When he went to sleep under the influence of wine, the effect of
opium strangled his throat.
Unconscious, he fell into sleep and the woman walked in.(13)
Eight thousand kilos of molten lead was poured over him.
He was reduced into ashes and she attained the bliss for the town.(14)
Dohira
Through this chritar, the woman terminated the demon and married
the Raja,
And whole populace began to live peaceful life.(15)(1)

His name was Firhang Rai, who had raided over the Englishmen.
He had raised a huge army and it appeared that the river Ganga had

The husband of Val an Devi relinquished his life in fear.

Chaos prevailed when the bullets buffeted.
The chariot-drivers, the horse-riders and the elephant-drivers, all were
annihilated.(8)

Tale of Preet Kala
Chaupaee
The city ofBhera had Kam Sen as his Raja.
Kamwati was his wife who was very pretty and auspicious.(1)
They used to rear horses, which bred many more horses and mares.
A colt was born there; there had never been one like that before.(2)
There came a fortunate Shah and the name of that admirer was Rasik
Kumar.
His daughter, Preet Kala, was very renowned and there had been
none like her in the past.(3)
That woman was lured by the son of a headman.
Through trickery she invited him at the dinner and served him dainty
foods.( 4)
When he was inebriated with wine, the woman asked,
(658)

‘Now you make love with me and eliminate my sexual distress.’(5)


He replied, ‘Listen, my love, 1 will not make love like this.
‘First you get me the magnificent horse which has born at the Raja’s
stable.’(6)
The woman contemplated, how the horse could be obtained.
‘What means should 1 adopt so that the horse comes into my
possession.’(7)
When the midnight approached, she disguised herself as a dog.
Holding a sword, she reached there, where the horse was tied.(8)
She had jumped over seven walls to reach there, as she was adept in
brandishing the sword in self-defence.
Any guard, who got up, she severed his head off.(9)
Arril
She killed one guard after the other and, after executing the third,
one she annihilated the fourth one.
After that she terminated the fifth, sixth and seventh and at the end,
after slaughtering the eighth one, she stole the horse.(l0)
When she had absconded with the horse, people of the town raised
hue and cry, and the horse-riders were mobilised.
All the outlets were closed and shouts of ‘Stop’ it and catch the thief’
were raised.( 11)
People scattered everywhere and rumouring, ‘Who had stolen the
horse,’ and holding swords they ran around in all the directions.(l3)
Chaupaee
The ones who approached the horse, they were cut into two.
With great courage, she exterminated many horse-riders.(l4)
Dohira
Fighting like this, she galloped the horse into the stream.
Swimming across, she reached the place where her paramour was
staying.(16)
Chaupaee
When she handed over the horse to him he made love with her.
When he learnt about the army chasing the woman, then she said,

Arril
‘I have acted very adversely, and have hit my own feet with a cleaver.
(659)

‘Now they will arrest us both, take away the horse and exterminate
us.’(18)
Chaupaee
The woman added, ‘Oh, my husband, don’t be scared, along with
the horse, we both will escape.
‘I will save you and save you by putting dust in the eyes of (deceiving)
the enemy.’(19)
She disguised herself as a man and went forward to meet the soldiers.
She told them, ‘Please save my honour and search the whole town.’(20)
After talking to the army, she came back and put jingling anklets
around the feet of the horse.
Displaying it to the whole town, she came back.(2l)
She pulled a curtain in the front lest they could see the ladies.
Slowly she moved forward under the shade of the sounds of the anklets
and this way she lead the Raja out of the town.(22)
She had shown them one courtyard at a time and then, (each time)
had put curtain in front.
And the sounds of the anklets had kept on coming out.(23)
They (the soldiers) were deeming the horse behind the curtain as a
dancing woman.
The sound of the anklets was keeping their attention and no one was
able to unravel the mystery.(24)
Listening to the sound, they thought that a daughter-in-law was dancing.
No body understood the real deception and they were all deluded by
a woman.(25)
For whomsoever a woman aspires, she gets him by any means and
the one she dislikes, she discards.
The chritars of the females are boundless, even, the Creator could
not know.(26)(1)

Tale of a Daughter of Shah


Chaupaee
My Sovereign, listen to my talk as I tell you what trick a woman had
performed;
In the West, there was a woman who was known as Hans Malini.(l)
Hans Raj was the Raja of that place and his wife was Hans Prabha.
She was very pretty and famous in all the fourteen regions.(2)
There was a daughter of a Shah, to whom even the sky bowed its head.
When she attained juvenility, she commenced to have sex with many
people.(3)
Once she disguised herself as a man and ensued a fight with her husband.
She hit him with fists and legs but he did not recognise her and thought
her to be another man.( 4)
After the fight she went to the Quazi and brought the spies with her.
She fetched her husband to the place where the Quazi was seated.(5)
Leaving the husband at the portal of the Quazi, she went to the house
of her paramour.
She made love with him and brought him as a witness.(6)
Arril
Leaving the friend, the husband and the spies at the door. she went to
another friend’s house.
She revelled in love making with him and brought him as a witness
too.(7)
Chaupaee
How far can I narrate as, like this she went to so many people.
She made all of them as witness and brought them to the Quazi.(8)
Everyone of them claimed her to be his woman, and they had no
knowledge of each other.
Whatever the woman told, they consented and never spoke their minds
out.(9)
When all the witnesses had deposed, she came forward and presented
just one point.
The Quazi agreed with her and gave her half of the wealth.( 10)
No body knew what trick she had played.
What to talk of other, they did not realise among themselves.(11)
Dohira

What chritar had she shown and what did she gain,
Nobody there could understand her doings.(l2)

none other like her.
On seeing the Raja, she was so much enticed that she lost all her appetite.(2)
She fell in love with the Raja so deeply that such wonderful love

She designated a wise maid and sent her to the Raja.(3)
More she expressed her desire for the meeting, more her aspirations
for the sex were enhanced.( 4)

In due course, the woman came out, went to the Raja and made love

of the action.( 6)

Tale of Roshan Dimaagh
Dohira
Once there was a Raja in the city of Sarohi.
He was very brave, handsome and benevolent to all the humanity.(1)
Chaupaee
Abla Devi was his Rani who was adept in all the household tasks.
She had given birth to a son called Biram Dev who was eminent and
brave.(2)
His splendour could not the related, as ifhe was the incarnation of Rama.
He radiated like the Sun and the Moon, and facing him, even, the
Lord Indra felt modest.(3)
That boy was so charming, that he appeared to be created by Creator
by his own hands.
By moulding him in the golden moulds, the Supreme Being must
had felt elated.( 4)
His eyes with eye-lasher were like those of deer and his hair epitomized
the halter of tresses.(5)
Whatever the similes the poets narrate for beauty, they related to his features.
Any man and woman who would see him, would lose one’s own
awareness.(6)
The birds were trammelled by his looks and the love-moths sacrificed
themselves on him.
After having just a glimpse of him, (Lord) Shiva still went around
naked in the jungle.(7)
Arril
To see him, Brahma adopted four faces, and also for that very purpose,
Kartic espoused six faces.

And for the same reason, Shiva took five faces, and, even, the Sheshnaag,
(663)

the thousand headed reptile, could not pass over this sea ofbeauty.(8)
Chaupaee
Any female, who saw him, would lose all her modesty and wealth.
They were en ticed and felt as if they were pierced by love arrows.(9)
He came to serve at the place where Aladdin used to live.
Phool Mati was the ruler’s wife who had given birth to a girl.(l0)
The name of that girl was Roshan Dimaagh (enlightened brain).
She was, as if, taken out by tearing the Moon, and that was why the
Moon was darkened.(11)
When Biram Dev came to report his attendance, he stole the heart of
the king’s daughter.
She tried hard but she could not achieve her lover.(l2)
When she was afflicted by the urge of sex, relinquishing the modesty,
she said to her father,
‘Either you dig a grave for me in the palace or marry me to Biram
Dev.’( 13)
The king agreed but added, ‘First you convert Biram Dev Ito become
a Muslim.
‘Then I will not refuse and you could marry him.’(l4)
The Minster was sent to Biram, who told him what the king had wanted,
‘First you convert to our religion and then you marry the king’s
daughter.’(l5)
Biram Dev did not accede and headed back to his country.
When the king learnt this in the morning, he despatched his army to
apprehend the enemy.(l6)
When Biram came to know, he returned and ensued a war.
Various brave men were annihilate and, even, the intrepid could find
no ground to stand.(l7)
The Raja ofthe place, where Biram Dev went, was Kanda] Vat.
Kandal Devi was his wife, who was very charming.(l8)
Arril
Kandal Devi was so much enticed seeing him that she fell flat on the
ground (being overpowered).
‘If I get just one chance of meeting him, I will sacrifice even fifty
incarnations upon him.’(19)

Chaupaee
(664)

Her maid went and prayed to Biram Dev,


‘Either you make love with our Rani or you abandon our country.’(20)
He thought, ‘The army is chasing me and I have no other place to go.
‘I will not leave her country and have sex with her.’(21)
The Rani made love with the friend and eliminated all her agonies.
In the meantime, the letter from the king arrived, which the Minster
opened and read aloud.(22)
In the letter, there was mentioned just this and nothing else,
‘Either you handover Biram Dev or you get ready for the war.’(23)
She did not let Biram Dev get arrested, rather put on armours and
readied him for the fight.
He, along with the horse-riders, chariots, arms, went forward without
fear.(24)
Bhujang Prayaat Chhand
At the beat of the killer-drums, the fighters girded up their loins.
Some fell down with slashed stomachs as the daggers and the swords
were striking.(25)
How far I (the poet) can narrate the details of the fallen fighters, it
could end up in a separate big granth, the volume.
Oh, my cherished readers, that is why I am givingjust brief
description.(27)
Somewhere the intrepid were blowing the trumpets and somewhere
female ascetic were singing the songs.
And somewhere, the fairies were revelling with the gallant ones.(28)
Chaupaee
When all the army was destroyed, then the woman sent her son.
When he was despatched to the heavens, she sent the second son.(34)
When he had fallen, she forwarded the third one.
That one lost his life too and she pushed ahead fourth one.(35)
When all her four sons had become the victim of the fight, then she,
herself, jumped into the fight.
She mobilised all the remaining soldiers and, under sounds of the
hornets, jumped into the battle-field.(36)
She fought so valiantly that all the soldiers lost their senses.
The dreaded intrepid fell flat and along with that the drums roared.(37)
That woman ensued such a fight that there had never been before
and would never be in the future.
(665)

Fighting and fighting she herself fell on the ground, expired and
departed to the heavens.( 41)
Initially she got her four sons killed and, then, got herself annihilated.
The adversaries first assassinated her then they terminated Biram Dev.(43)
They cut his head and brought it to the king,
Who sent it to his daughter who felt extremely remorse.(44)
Dohira
When the rider’s head was uncovered by the princess, it fell back,
As if he did not accept the (Muslim) gir1.(45)
Chaupaee
In agony, the princess took a dagger and thrust it into her stomach
(saying),
‘I have taken the life of my beloved, curse upon me, the one who
initiated such an operation.’( 46)

For sake of Biram Dev, the daughter of a king abandoned her life,
And then, says the poet Shyam, the story ends here.(47)(1)

moulded by the Cupid himself.(2)
Her mother told, ‘Oh, you the one with beautiful limbs, don’t be a

‘You go and marry Bilas Dhuj and make him your server.’(3)
She was fascinated by the thought, but kept the secret in her heart
and did not reveal to anyone.

She came home, at night, she disguised herself and left the house as
a man.(4)
Walking and walking, she reached the place where there was the city
of Bilas Mati.
She gambled there and astounded every body.(5)
When all the famous gamblers lost, they went to the Raja and
complained,
‘A unique gambler has come, who cannot be won by any body.’(6)
When the Raja heard such talk, he went forward to gamble himself.
He asked to call the one who had won all the rest.(7)
Getting the order, the servants reached there where the gambling lady
was making others to lose.
They told her, ‘The Raja has summoned you to come and gamble
with him.’(8)
The lady went to the Raja and indulged gambling through various
techniques.

Tale of Parj Mati
Chaupaee
Jamal Sen was a very brave Raja; all three domains accepted his submission.
He was the Raja of Jamla Garh (territory) and was very courageous
and intelligent.( 1)
(667)

Seetal Devi was his Rani whose serenity and benevolence was well known.
He had daughter called Parj Mati; one like that had never existed
before among the humans or the reptiles.(2)
There was a Raja at Bushehar who came to Jamla Garh at one time.
Where he wanted to revere the Seetal through his mind, body and
soul.(3)
Parja Devi was waiting at her house when she saw’” the Raja and she
eradicated all her afflictions.
She contemplated in her mind to, somehow, espouse him.(4)
She sent a maid and invited him to her house, and made love adopting
many postures.
She made him to discern (the situation) and after the worship of the
goddess sent him back.(5)
She had sent him back with such insight and (herself) convinced the
Raja (the father) that she was going to Manikaran on pilgrimage,
And said that, after having sacred dip, she would come back.(6)
Apparently she left on a pilgrimage but she ended up in Bushehar City.
She conveyed to him every thing truthfully and had heartfelt sex with him.(7)
After making love, he retained her there and asked his servants to
drive out (her companions) out of the city and those who resisted,
finish them.(8)
She was extremely enticed by him and presented him all her belongings.
Through this trick she captured her lover and no one else had any
doubt.(9)
All the companions were chucked out of the house and the ones who
took up arms were annihilated,
And a message was sent to the Raja of Jam Leswar that your daughter
had been seized by this (Bushehar’s) Raja.(l0)
But the Raja of Jamla Garh became inept to face (the Raja of
Bushehar) and nodded his head (in consent).
Through this deception, the princess married that Raja and all the
people were left in predicament.(11)

Bivaas Mati
Dohira
In the city of Bhibhas, there was a Raja named Karan Bhibhas.
The whole country accepted his resplendence and supremacy.(l)
Chaupaee
Bivaas Mati was his wife who was renowned as the most pretty among
his subject.
She had seven co-wives; all were the embodiment of comeliness.(2)
There came a yogi, who was handsome, full of wisdom and a recluse.
His name was Siam Das and the ladies, all the time, waited on him as
he was very attractive.(3)
Bivaas Mati was lured by him, and she made love with him.
She had heartfelt sex but her co-wives got extremely jealous.( 4)
Ahdhuj Devi talked to Ket Mati and Pauhap Mati consulted Phool Mati.
Nagir Devi and Nagin Devi, were the Ranis and Narit Mati was famous
all over the world.(5)
She invited all of them at a dinner.
She served poisoned food, killed them and, then, raised hue and cry,(6)
‘All of them had died by taking poison,’ she wailed,
‘I have committed a big sin, I gave them poison in place of salt by
mistake.(7)
‘Now, either I will go to the snowy mountains or burn myself to death.’
Thousands of lady-friends tried to stop her but she did not
acquiesce.(8)
She took with her the same yogi, with whom she had sex,
The people thought that she had gone to melt in the snow, but had no
idea of the actuality.(9)
The Raja remained in predicament and he never reprimanded the Rani.
The Rani left with her paramour; no body could discern the truth.(l0)
Even Brahma cannot understand the chritars of the females.
Their achievement are understood by the only One who has created
them.(10)

Tale of Rattan Mati
Chaupaee
It is heard that there was a very beautiful town, which was built by
Wishkarma, the god of artisans.
He was known by the name of Aloora and was revered in all the three
domains.( 1)
Bhoop Bhadar was the Raja of that country who was quite efficient in
governing.
Rattan Mati was his wife who was renowned for her ugliness.(2)
The Raja would not like to go to her as he was petrified by her features.
He remained with the other Ranis and never went to talk to her
even.(3)
She was very much distressed and desired if she could create affability
with the Raja.
The woman performed one adventure, which now, I (the poet) would
like to narrate for your perusal.( 4)
When the Rani saw the Raja deeply in worship, she adorned herself.
She disguised herself as Shiva and smeared the fire-dust on her
body.(5)
When the Raja was in prayer, she, in the profile of Shiva, arrived
there.
The Raja saw her and appraising her as Shiva, fell on her feet.(6)
‘Now, my birth has become worth as I have the glimpse of Shiva,’
He said, ‘I have earned the benevolence by the sight of the Shiva.’(7)
When the fool had accepted her as Shiva, she articulated,
‘Oh, Raja, as you have served me, I am endowing you my glimpse.’(8)
Hearing the woman’s address, he was over-whelmed and the fool
had no idea of the reality.
He fell on the feet of the woman but the woman did not let the truth
exposed.(9)
Then the woman said, ‘Dear Raja, Listen to me carefully.
‘Rattan Devi is your Rani, she is an obedient devotee of mine.(l0)
‘If you love her, you will be acclaimed.
‘Your enemies will be annihilated and you will be bestowed with my
blessings.’(11)
After pronouncing as such, she put the self-concealing collyrium-
(670)

powder in her eyes and, apparently, vanished.


The foolish Raja considered her Shiva and had no sense of
distinction.(12)
Then on, he started loving her and abandoned the other Ranis.
And through such an chritar, the woman deceived the Raja.(13)

Tale of Mathura
Chaupaee
A man called Mathura used to live near us and people thought his
wife as the embodiment of rose-flowers.
A man named Ram Das came there and, on her sight, he was
overpowered by the Cupid’ urge.(1)
He stayed with the lady for long time and then he said to her,
‘Now you become my wife, what would this impotent man give you?’(2)
The woman said ‘yes’ in consent, bore this in her mind and did not
divulge to any body.
When Mathura (her husband) came to her house, the woman
expounded,(3)
‘Raja Hari Chand (legendary pious) was reborn and, at the end, he
died as well.
‘The magnanimous Raja, Mandhat, took birth, but the god of the
death took him away as well.(4)
‘Any human being, who takes birth in this world, at the end he departs.
‘Only the Almighty is immortal, rest are all perishable.(5)
Dohira
‘He alone is dynamic, who has revelled in benevolence.
‘Through the gracefulness to the Sikhs, all the aspirations are fulfilled.’(6)
Chaupaee
Hearing such sermon, the man was petrified and said to the woman,
‘I will abide by whatever is in your mind.’(7)
(671)

The Woman talk


‘Whosever’s clothes are torn, you buy ones for him immediately.
‘The one, who has no wife, you hand over your woman instantly.’(8)
Ram Das looked towards him as he was without money and had no woman.
Along with the wealth, he donated his wife to him, without pondering
over the intent.(9)
Through this deception, the woman went to her lover’s house, taking
a lot of money.
And Ram Das, without realising the veracity, considered himself as a
sagacious person.(10)(1)

Tale of Apachhara Devi
Chaupaee
There was a city known as Sukritavati whose Raja, Sukrit Sen, was
very knowledgeable.
In his house, the woman named Lachin Devi used to live, facing
whom, the Sun and the Moon felt modest.(1)
Apachhara Devi was his daughter who was the epitome of all the
musical notes.
She was far beyond appreciation, as the Lord Indra, the Sun, the
Moon, and all the rests were fascinated by her.(2)
Once there came a Shah accompanied by his son who gleamed like the Sun.
The princess was lured and she cast off her human modesty.(3)
She summoned a wise maid and sent her to him, who brought him
there somehow.
The princess made love with him and they passed whole night reveling
in sex.( 4)
They were so much infatuated in love that I (the poet) cannot explicate.
No one wanted to forsake and, even, one with minute’s separation
they would feel like a thousand years.(5)
(672)

After making love she made a pledge, as she had fallen in love with
the Shah’s son.
‘I will acknowledge your sincerity only if you take me with you.’(6)
After making love he went away to his house and tried to act the way
she had told him.
Primarily, he sent a lot of expensive clothes, which were to be shown
to the Raja.(7)
Packed very nicely, they were despatched to the palace for the princess
to choose from.
‘I may pay the price of those clothes which are selected.’(8)
Arril
After displaying the goods to the Rani, those were exhibi ted to the
princess, who wrapped them around her and hid in them.
She went to the house of the friend, and the Raja perceived no doubt
as he was duped.(9)
Dohira
The Raja appraised himself very clever, but the imprudent had never
savoured the cannabis even.
And that is why the paramour carried away the girl and the fool could
not discern.(10)(1)

Sri Brij Raj was its Raja whose sight made Lord Indra feel modest.(l)
Sri Brij Raj Mati was his Rani whose grace was renowned in all the
fourteen regions.
Baranga Devi was their daughter who was as passionate as fire.(2)
When her astute young friends beheld her, they related in sweet talks,
‘The one like her had never been before and never will be in the
(673)

future.’(3)
When Baranga Devi captured the youth, and had dissipated all her
childhood traits,
She came across a prince and she sacrificed her life upon him (fell in
love).(4)
She indulged in lovemaking with him everyday, and they seamed to
have amalgamated into a single body.
Then the clever princess thought over a manoeuvre,
And told the Raja in clear terms,(5)
‘I was passed a curse by Shiva and, consequent to that, I took birth in
your house.
‘When the time of the malediction expires, I will leave for the domain
of Shiva.’(6)
One day, leaving a letter written in her own hand, she left for the
house o[ the friend,
‘The time of the curse has now completed, and your daughter has
departed for the heavens.(7)
‘All the wealth you have in the household, you may distribute among
the Brahmins,’
And she had disguised her friend as a Brahmin.(8)
Through such deception she went away with her friend, who had
been made rich through her money.
Her mother and father thought that her malediction was expired and
she had left for the heavens.

Tale of Sorath Devi and Paraj Kumari
Chaupaee
Dijamber Sen was the Raja of the place where the country of Sorath
is situated.
Sumer Mati was his wife; there was no other lady in the world that
could rival her.(1)
(674)

They had a daughter by the name of Sorath Devi; there could not be
found any woman like her.
Paraj Kumari was another princess, and the Brahma could not create
one like her again.(2)
When both the princess attained juvenility, they symbolized the rays
of the Sun and the Moon.
They were so charming that, even, the Creator had wished to retain
them.(3)
There was a Raja named Ooj Sen in whom, it seemed, the Cupid had
disguised himself.
That Raja went out on a hunting spree and killed many deer, nilgaos
(antelopes), and bears.(4)
There appeared a stag with twelve horns,
The Raja put his horse on a chase behind it and went many miles
away.(5)
The stag was visible for a few miles but no servant could reach (to
apprehend) it.
He arrived at a place in the country of Sorath Devi, where the princess
used take bath.(6)
The stag reached there, and, right in front of the eyes of the princesses,
(the Raja) shot it dead.
He shot with such a force that it died there and then and it could not
take even a couple of steps ahead.(7)
Both the princesses saw him and contemplated in their minds,
That, without the permission of their father, they would marry him.(8)
In the meantime, feeling thirsty, the Raja along with the (dead) stag,
came forward.
He handed over that stag to the princesses and, in lieu, took water to
drink.(9)
He fastened the horse’s rein at a tree and went to sleep underneath.
The princesses, very secretly, made a plan to dupe their maids.( 10)
Both the princesses collected several-times-decanted wine,
They served to them, including themselves and inebriated them to
sleep.(11)
When they were sure that all the maids and the guards are in deep slumber.
Both got the leather-bags, climbing upon them, they went into water
to swim across.(12)
Swimming, they reached the place where the Raja was sleeping.
(675)

They woke him up and put him up on the leather bag.(13)


After placing him on the bag, they came back into the river.
They abandoned their country and swimming they reached the country
of the Raja.(l4)
When the maids got up, without any doubt, they assumed,
The princesses, being drunk, must have drowned in the river.(lS)
Dohira
Both, with great contentment, went away with the Raja.
And the Raja, as well, sexually revelling and mounting over the
leather-bags eloped with them.(l5)(l)

The Raja of Haridwar was well known and was endowed with
resplendence and graciousness.

like her.(1)
When she achieved the youth-hood, she was given to Raja Bhoop Sen.
When she arrived in Srinagar, she saw a low-born and she was
captivated by him.(2)
She sent a maid to him and disregarded her love making with the Raja.
Every day she would invite him and revel with him carnally.(3)
She was fascinated so much that she felt as if she was his woman.
She took him into confidence and killed the Raja.(4)
Next morning, she prepared to immolate herself at the pyre for the

low born.(6)
Through this trick, this delicate lady wen tto the house of the low-born.
The lady was contended as she got the husband, which she had
coveted for.(7)

They put them inside the woods and, being ashamed they do not tell
the truth (behind this custom).

Then the sons of the Rani ruled over the country,
And people labelled them as the descendants of the low-born.(9)(l)

Tale of Angana Devi

Where there is the monument of Shah Daula Peer (the Muslim sage)
in Gujarat, Amar Singh was the Raja of that place.
Angana Devi was the Rani of that Raja, facing whom the consorts of
the gods felt modest.(1)
Raja extremely revered the Peer and was devoid of senses of
distinguishing between the good and the bad.
There used to live a Kashatri, Suborn Singh, who was handsome,
rich and adept in the arms.(2)
As that Kashatri was very’good-looking, and was like a sheaf of charm,
As soon as she saw him, losing all her consciousness, she became
mad about him.(3)
She fell in love with him and, intentionally, posed herself to be an innocent.
She sent a maid and, somehow, summoned him to her house.(4)
She collected the cannabis, poppy-husks and opium, and grounded
the cannabis in water.
They both squatted on the bed and savoured it while kissing, cuddling
(677)

and making love.(5)


Dohira
When, under the influence of wine, their eyes inebriated,
They crouched on the bed and revelled injovialtalks.(6)
Chaupaee
Adopting various postures, he satisfied the lady,
And endowed her love afflictions, as if she was the daughter of the Cupid.(7)
After he had enhanced his love with the woman, she thought of this plan,
‘You come to the fare at the Peer’s place and put cannabis in the
(sacred) pudding at the Peer.(8)
‘When the teetotallers will eat the pudding, they all will die there,
and, then, you take me away along with all the wealth.’(9)
When the day of the fair came, the pudding was prepared by putting
cannabis in there.
All the disciples devoured it and all those fools became
unconscious.(l0)
When all the teetotallers became subliminal, they first were robbed
and then all their garments were taken away.
They took the way to their country giving the fools a lesson not to
trust the strangers.(11)
When they got up in the morning, they searched for their turbans and
clothes.
The Peer said angrily, ‘Some body has deceived you all.’(l2)
All were left bewildered and, being ashamed did not speak.
No one knew the trick and they bowed their heads to the Peer.(l3)
Dohira
No body can perceive the vile acts of the females.
See, how cleverly she had gone away after playing the trick.(14)(l)

Tale of Gajgaah Mati


Chaupaee
Listen, My Sovereign, 1 tell you a poem in which a woman played a
deception.
See the cunningness of the woman, how she duped all the people in
an instant:(1)
Ishaqvati was a beautiful city and Ishaq Sen was its Raja.
Sri Gajgaah Mati was his wife; there had never been one like her
before.(2)
There was one Raja called Rann Duleh and there had never been one
like him before.
He was a great warrior and very handsome; an embodiment of Cupid.(3)
Once that Raja went on hunting and killed many bears, wild-cows
and deer.
He reached the city ofIshaqvatti and was enticed with the beauty of
the town (and thought).(4)
‘The Raja who have got such a city must have beautiful Ranis too.
‘Somehow, 1 must go and see them, otherwise, becoming a mendicant
finish my life here.’(5)
He took his clothes off and put on mendicant’s garb,
And, after abandoning his ornaments, smeared his body with ashes
and took his position in front of the gates.(6)
He spent many years there but could not have the glimpse of the Rani.
After the lapse of many years, he observed a shadow, perceived (the
situation) and pondered over in his mind.(7)
The Rani was standing contentedly in her house and he had seen her
reflection in the water.
The intelligent Raja noticed her and comprehended all the mystery.(8)
When the woman, as well, saw his reflection, she thought,
‘He seems to be either a prince or an epitome of Cupid.’(9)
She, covertly, summoned a tunnel digger, and gave him a lot of money.
She got a tunnel dug through her house; no body else became aware
of the fact.(l0)
Dohira
Through that way her maid went and reached there.
Holding the Raja from his leg, she brought him and the Raja could
not struggle.(11)
(679)

Chaupaee
Holding him by his legs, the maid had dragged him there, where the
Rani was waiting for him.
She caused the friends to meet and they both, blissfully, revelled in
making love.(l2)
They had many cuddles, and the woman performed many postures.
The Raja was enticed like the intellectuals get infused listening to the
couplets.(l3)
The Rani said, ‘Oh, My Friend, your love has ingrained in my heart.
‘Since the time 1 saw your reflection, my mind has been captivated
by your thought.(l4)
‘I feel that 1 remain with you everyday without the care of my parents.
‘Now we must manoeuvre in such a way that our honour is not staked,
and achieve my lover too.’(l5)
The Raja conveyed her the truth, ‘I am a Raja not a mendicant.
‘I am the sovereign of the country of Rashtra and for your sake 1
have disguised like this.(l6)
‘My eyes have been beholding you since 1 saw your reflection in the
water.
‘And when you saw me, the Cupids pierced arrow through you as
well.( 17)
‘After noticing me, you could not control and got the tunnel dug out.
‘And they apprehended me and brought me here, and then, My Love,
it transpired the way you wanted to.’(l8)
They both sat down and deliberated as the guard of the Raja had seen them.
She sent away the paramour to his place and pronounced, ‘Oh, My
Raja, your Rani is going to lick salt (to die).(19)
Hearing this through their own ears, they (the Raja and the others)
came and said to her,
‘Oh, You the favourite of the Raja, why are you relinquishing your
body.(20) ‘Listen. My Raja, I have killed a Brahmin priest.
‘Whatever the wealth you see in my house, you bury all that in the
grave.’(21)
Everybody begged her but she refused to acquiesce, and she went
down in the dugout.
She had sprinkled salt all around and taken all the wealth with her.(22)
Through the runnel the Rani went to the place where her blissful
companion was sitting.
(680)

She accompanied him and went away leaving people in


quandary.(23)(l)

Tale of Lakhshmani
Chaupaee
Towards the direction of the North, there was a well known Raja.
He was famous by the name ofKalgi Rai in the world and many
countries accepted his sovereignty.(1)
Mit Mati was his wife, on whose sight, even the Moon felt modest.
She had a maid in the name of Lakhshmani, who was endowed with
a weak physique.(2)
That woman extremely revered the Rani but the foolish Rani had no
idea of her hidden motives.
She was paid underhand by the Raja, and she conveyed him even the
trivial happenings.(3)
The Rani considered her as her well wisher; never doubted her to be
an informer of the Raja.
Whatever she heard through her ears, she would write to the Raja.( 4)
That maid had two brothers and nothing could be asserted about those
as they had big teeth.
One was black and the other was ugly, and their eyes were like the
ones inebriated with red wine.(5)
Their armpits smelt badly and no one could sit near them.
In consideration of their brotherhood, the maid sympathised with them
but, the foolish lady, never tried to understand them.(6)
There was a daughter of the Jat peasant who was addressed as Maina.
She would be given a bit of foot, whenever she came across the maid.(7)
That woman conceived a plan and the maid was duped to participate in it.
‘My Respected Lady, your brothers are begging for some money and
you, secretly, give that to me.’(8)
(681)

The maid agreed and, by wrapping the money in the dough she gave
her for the expenses of her brothers.
She took the amount and went to her own house.(9)
She handed over half the money to her brothers and kept the other
half.
The foolish maid did not realise and, through this trick, she had been

poison in the food.

Tale of Navjoban Devi

In the East there was a city called Sujanvatti, which was elevated than
all the rest.
Singh Sujan was the Raja of the place; one like him, Brahma had not
created before.(1)
Navjoban Devi was his wife; one like her the Brahma had never
produced heretofore.
Any woman who saw her, would say through her mind, body and
soul that,(2)
‘Such as Raja’s wife is, there could never be a consort like her at the
court of Lord Indra.’
There was a son of a Shah, seeing whom, even the Lord Indra felt modest.(3)
When this news reached the Rani, she was perturbed (and thought),
‘What should I do to get him and behold him with my own eyes.’(4)
She announced in the town and asked all and sundry,
‘Rich and poor, no body should remain away, come to have dinner at
her house.’(5)
Raja had no clue, he thought it just a general invitation by the Rani.
Various viands were prepared and both the rich and the poor were
lured.(6)
To relish the foods, people came and happily passed through the
vision of the Rani.
When Athi Rai came there, where the Rani was sitting in the window,(7)
The Rani recognised him and praised him extravagantly,
And then she prayed to thank for the creation of such a
handsomeness.(8)
She sent a maid, called him in and blissfully made love with him.
He was youthful and, on top of that, he had savoured cannabis, he
reveled sexually through out the four watches of the night.(9)
Her love with Athi Rai was enhanced so much that I (the poet) couldn’t
narrate.
(684)

She made him to understand, sent him to his house and at midnight
killed the Raja.(10)
That shameful, took away all the wealth and, then, came forward to
immolate herself.
She acted in such a way that every body thought she had incinerated
herself.( 11)
She, as a matter of fact, eloped with her paramour and no one knew
the secret.
She cheated the visions of all the people and absconded deceiving
everybody.( 12)( 1)

Tale of Bastar Mati
Chaupaee
Listen, My Sovereign, I narrate you a story, which you would have
not heard before:
Bastar Sen was an auspicious Raja; there had never been one like
him before.( 1)
Bastar Mati was a lady in his house who was quite illuminative for
the people of the city of Bastravatti.
There was another Raja by the name of Awal Chand, whom the Rani
had observed singing.(2)
She was swayed by the love for him like the rain drops in the rainy
season.
She strived, sent her maid and called him over.(3)
She revelled with him sexually and enjoyed contentedly.
She disregarded her royalty and threw her honour in his hands.( 4)
She sent for all the beggars and, along with him, she made them to
wear saffron clothes.
Herself, she adorned the saffron clothes too and went along with
them.(5)
(685)

No guard checked her thinking her to be a mendicant as well.


When she had gone far away, only then the Raja realised.(6)(1)

Tale of Zebatul Nisa
Chaupaee
Where the city of Ishaq Tanbol flourishes, there was a Raja called
Ishaq Tanbol
Ishaq Pech was the Rani of the place and her beauty was renowned
in all the coun tries.(1)
A Quazi (Muslim justice) known as ArifKhan was very prominent there.
Zebarul Nisa was his daughter who was the embodiment ofthe Moon.(2)
There was a man called GuIzar Rai, whose sight alone gratified the woman.
The Quazi’s daughter saw him and she felt being pierced by the
Cupid’s arrow.(3)
She called a trusted friend and opened her heart to her,
‘If you arrange my meeting with him, I will give you whatever you
desire for.’( 4)
The friend went and brought him to meet her.
Disregarding her parent’s honour, she revelled in love making with
him.(5)
She was enticed so much that she would forget to blink her eyes even.
Day and night would go on admiring him, and thanked her lucky stars,(6)
‘Auspicious was the day when I fell in love,
‘Now I must play some trick so that I may run away with my lover.’(7)
She called in the lover and applied hair-removing herb on his face.
All his hair were erased, and one could not judge whether he was a
male or a female.(8)
After he had completely disguised himself as a woman, he went and
pleaded in the court,
‘My heart has been pinched by the son of the Quazi, I want to marry him.’(9)
The Quazi opened the book and after consulting it, he said,
(686)

‘The one who wants to come willingly, the Quazi cannot hinder.(l0)
‘She is going to be the wife of my son and therefore I will sustain her.
‘He did not ponder over the pros and cons, and, while the king was
watching, he put his seal.(11)
After putting the seal he came back to his house and found the same
woman, now in his real posture of a man.
When the court came into session and the honourable king took his
seat,(12)
Where the Quazi and the police chief were sitting, he came in dressed
as a man.
The Quazi’s daughter was with him, and he said to the king,(l3)
‘The Quazi’s daughter has married me and accepted me like a Cupid.’
He displayed the seal, which he had obtained by disguising as a
woman.(14)
Seeing the seal, the people laughed as the daughter of the Quazi had
gone to live with a friend.
‘He has got the reward of his justice.’(l5)
Dohira
This way she tricked the Quazi and went to live with the friend.
The clever women have many faced hoaxes which no one can
fathom.(l6)(l)

Tale of Rann Jhoomak Devi
Chaupaee
Listen, My Sovereign, I tell you a story which will eradicate whims
from your mind:
In the South there is a city called Bishnavatti and the Raja of that
place was known as Bisgan Chand.(1)
Ugar Sen was renowned Shah of that locality, whose status was
comparable to a Raja.
(687)

Sri Rann Jhoomak Devi was his daughter, from whom, the Moon had
taken its brilliance.(2)
She was married to Kunbh Karan (a devil like man); the Raja once
wanted to see her.
The Raja tried hard but she could not be approached and the Raja
flew into rage.(3)
He said, ‘Look at this girl, for whom I toil so hard,
‘Ignoring this indignant person, she does not like a Raja,’ and the
Raja sent many servers to her.( 4)
Acceding to his orders, they went there and took the house under
siege.
They killed her husband but she ran away and they could not catch
hold of her.(5)
When she had noticed, her husband was lying dead, she thought,
‘How could I annihilate the Raja and take the revenge?’(6)
She wrote a letter and sent it there where the Raja was seated.
‘You marry me and make me your Rani right now.’(7)
Acquiescing to that he married her; took some one else’s woman as
his wife.
The fool, without realising the deception, brought her to his house.(8)
He slept keeping her with him and eliminated all the whims.
Imbued in the passion of love, he stretched his arm towards her but
she took out a sword and slew him.(9)
After killing him, she laid him down and spread a sheet on top.
She went out and immolated herself with her husband. What a clever
woman she was?(l0)
Dohira
The woman took the revenge for her paramour and killed the Raja.
Thereafter, she immolated herself and displayed her chritar.(11)(1)

Tale of Sandhla Devi
Chaupaee
Listen, My Sovereign, a story that no body has heard before, nor will
it be recounted again:
Where there was the country ofRadha Nagar, Rukman Sen used to be
the Raja.(l)
Sri Digah Mati was his wife, with whom even the humans and reptiles
could not contest.
Sandhla Devi was her daughter, who was the embodiment of the fairies
and nymphs.(2)
There was a temple of the goddess; there was none other like that.
The Rajas from many countries often came there to pay their obeisance
to the Devi, the goddess.(3)
There came a Raja by the name of Bhuvja Singh, who surpassed the
(legendary) Raja Bhoj.
Sandhla Devi was enticed by his exquisite looks and in her mind she
became his slave.( 4)
Although the lady was previously married to some one else, she was
captivated by the Raja.
She thought over profoundly, and, as she had felt tormented, she sent
a maid to him,(5)
‘Listen Raja, I am permeated by your love and have lost all my senses.
‘If you let me have your glimpse, it will be like rekindling a dead
body with nectar.’(6)
On hearing such talks of the lady, the maid immediately went to the Raja.
She narrated the way she was told and the Raja felt extremely
aroused.(7)
He thought, how could he go there and through what trick should he
bring her here.
Hearing all those talks he lost his appetite and felt embroiled in
dilemma.(8)
Then the Raja sent her back to the place where that blessed one was
sitting.
He sent her a message, ‘You devise some means and through some
craftiness come to my house.’(9)
She obtained a skeleton of a drum, sat inside and got it covered with
(689)

the leather sheets.


By sitting inside, and through such a manoeuvre, she reached the
lover’s place.(l0)
With the beat of the drum she had proceeded while the parents and
the friends were left behind in bewilderment.
No one could fathom the secret and all were hoaxed this way.(11)
Through such a deception, the woman went to the house of her
paramour.
She went with the beat of the drum and no body could perceive.(l2)(l)

Tale of Bilaas Devi
Chaupaee
Now, My Sovereign, listen to a unique story in which the daughter of
a Raja in the east performed a treachery:
There was a Raja by the name of Bhujang, who was very benevolent
to the Brahmin priests.(l)
Ajayavatti town was so beautiful that, even, the domains of the gods
fell modest.
Bimal Mati was a Rani in his household whose daughter’s name was
Bilaas Devi.(2)
She used to luxuriate in the charms and incantations and no other
woman could beat her in this Chritar.
Where there was the confluence of the rivers Ganga and Jamuna,
there was their capital.(3)
Their capital was so splendid that it could not be narrated just by seeing.
The palaces there were so lofty that, even, one could get hold of the star.(4)
The Raja used to come there for ablution and obliterate his foregoing
sins.
There came another Raja who was much younger and a competent
soldier.(5)
Bimal had a glimpse of him and, through her mind, body and soul,
(690)

she deliberated,
‘Either I will marry him, there and then, or I shall drown myself in the
river Ganga.’(6)
She had one maid who was very wise and delightful, and she opened
her heart to her,
‘If you orchestrate for me to meet him, I will pay you whatever you
ask for.’(7)
The maid went to his house and, beseeching on his feet, she conveyed
the message,
‘You have thoroughly fascinated the princess and she has lost all her
personal consciousness.’(8)
Listening to all that he felt himself put in a predicament, and he told
her,
‘Oh, You the wise maid, you strive to make us meet each other.’(9)
Chaupaee
‘You, the Raja, disguise yourself as a woman and adorn yourself
with ornaments.
‘After displaying yourself to Bhujang Dhuj, you hide in the house.’(l0)
That Raja put on lady’s clothes and embellished himself with the
ornaments.
After showing himself to Bhujang Dhuj, he went into hiding in the
courtyard.(11)
The Raja (Bhujang Dhuj) was enchanted seeing her (him) and
despatched the same maid,
‘You go, see her a’1.d then devise a plan of my marriage with her
(him).’( 12)
The maid went away, after spending two watches there, she came back,
And told him, ‘Listen, My Raja, you hearken to what I say,(l3)
‘Primarily you marry your daughter to him (the visiting Raja) and
then you procure his sister.’
The Raja (Dhuj) did not hesitate for a moment and handed over his
sister to him in marriage.(l4)
First, by giving away his daughter, he (Dhuj) married the Raja and
brought him home disguised as woman.
He (visitor) murdered the fool, married his daughter and, along with
the princess, he took the country as wel1.(15)
In the first instant he took over the Raja’s daughter and then terminated
his life.
(691)

Then he grabbed his empire and all this was executed through Bilaas
Devi.(l6)(1)

Tale of Dal Bhanbah Devi
Chaupaee
Listen, My Sovereign, I narrate a story, which transpired with a Raja:
Where there is the town of Sunar Ganv, there used to live a Raja
called Sabal Singh.(1)
Dal Bhanbah Devi was his wife who had studied the charms and the
incantations.
There came a handsome ascetic; the Almighty had not created one
like him before.(2)
The Rani was lured by his looks and, through her mind, body and
soul, she expounded,
‘The deception through which an ascetic can be lured, I must perform
today.’(3)
The clouds roared without any rain and, through the power of the
magic, the fire sparks poured down.
The blood and the bones dropped down from the sky, which dreaded
the people.( 4)
The Raja summoned the ministers and called the Brahmin priests
with their books.
‘You all ponder over the situation and find the remedy for this
catastrophe.’(5)
In the meantime, the Rani called one intrepid and made him to predict,
‘You, the Raja, there is only one remedy to restore, failing which, the
Raja and the subject, all will be annihilated.’(6)
Every body thought it to be a celestial articulation and did not deem
it as the utterance of the intrepid.
The intrepid had vocalised, ‘What I say, hearken to it earnestly,(7)
(692)

‘If the Raja grants his Rani along with the wealth to an ascetic,
‘Only then he will survive and continue the rule over the subject.’(8)
The people of the country acted impatiently and, after persuasions,
took the ascetic to the Raja.
Along with a lot of money, without pondering over, the woman was
handed over to the ascetic.(9)
Dohira
Duping, both the subject and the Raja, the woman went to her lover.
Neither any body doubted nor they reflected upon the deception.(l0)(1)

Tale of Khanjan Devi
Chaupaee
Now, Listen, My Sovereign, to another narrative, which I relate to
you:
There was a pretty town known as Achlawati.(l)
Anjan Devi was its Rani and Khanjan Devi was her daughter.
Their eminence dominated so much that the consorts of the reptile
and the humans felt modest.(2)
There came a Shah, he was, as if, the embodiment of the Moon.
Any lady who saw him would relinquish her royalty and run after
him.(3)
Once, he passed under the house of the Rani, and she noticed him
with her own eyes.
Through her mind, body and soul, she fell for him and felt like
swinging under the spell of wine.( 4)
The name of that man was Parchand Singh and he was the epitome of
the crown of the Cupid.
The princess sent a maid to him to convey him the tribulations of her heart.(5)
The maid, immediately like a boat is pushed towards the embankment,
conveyed the message,
She stipulated the predicament of the princess and, hearing that, he
(693)

was delighted through his mind and thought.(6)


(The maid,) ‘Where there is the Raja’s palace, a rivulet passes by and
you come and wait by standing there.
‘I will enclose the princess in a cauldron and put a lid on top.(7)
‘On top of that I will fix a guitar and through this manoeuvre, I will
make you both to meat.
‘When you see the guitar, you take her out and, blissfully, revel in
making love.’(8)
Settling all the details, the maid came to the house of the Raja.
She put the princess in the cauldron, tied a guitar on the top and
pushed it towards him.(9)
When the floating guitar reached there, he felt the comfort-endowing
princess coming towards him.
He took her out and made her to sit in a bed.(l0)
He collected the cannabis, poppy-husk and opium and both relished
them ecstatically.
He made love with her but the people could not discern.(11)
Through such means, he would call her everyday and return her after
revelling in sex.
Including the Raja, no one suspected and kept getting their heads
shaved off (humiliated).(l2)(1)

Tale of Sunder Devi
Chaupaee
Listen, My Sovereign, I tell you a unique story which has neither
been written before, nor will it be in the future:
Sunder Nagar was a very pretty city and Sunder Singh was its Raja.(l)
Sunder Devi was his Rani, who was, perhaps, created by the Creator
Himself.
She was such a queen of the Raja that her exaltation could not be
(694)

recounted.(2)
There used to live a son of a Shah, who was deemed to have been
moulded in gold.
The parrot envied his nose and seeing his eyes like Sunflowers, the
black bees would lose their ways.(3)
Jealous of his waist, the lion, getting furious, would chase the deer,
And the nightingale, rivalling his voice, would feel scorched and
become black.( 4)
The Sunflower, feeling modest seeing him, would immerse itself in
to water.
Seeing his tresses, the she-snakes would feel humbled and run away
their holes.(5)
With a business proposition, he came to meet the Raja.
Seeing him there, Sunder Devi, lost all her perceptibility.(6)
She sent her maid and had heartfelt sex with him.
There was another maid of the Raja who, like a hunting-informer,
observed her,(7)
And she tiptoed to the Raja (and told), ‘In your household, a swindler
has entered
‘He is making love with the Rani, Dear Raja, please come and see for
yourself. ‘(8)
Discovering this, the Raja flew into rage and, holding a sword in his
hand, headed to that side.
When the wife heard him coming in, she let lot of smoke in the house.(9)
The eyes of everybody were gorged with the smoke and the tears
rolled down.
At the opportune time, the Rani made the friend to get away and,
then, felt a sigh of relief.(10)
She had slipped the friend away as the Raja’s was unable to observe
anything.
After clearing his eyes, when he reached there, he could not find any
stranger.(11)
On the contrary he terminated the same maid for slandering his wife.
The stupid Raja did not discern the deception, how the Rani had
helped her paramour to escape?

escaped with her lover:

Shiv Parshad was the Raja of that place, who always revered Shiva.
Bhawan Devi was his wife and his daughter was known as Manmohan
Devi.(2)
Shah Madar Peer was a pious person there, who was bestowed with
the occult power and all, the Rajas and the subject, adored him.
One day, the Raja went to him accompanied by his wife and
daughter.(3)
Arril
The daughter fancied a man, sent her a maid and invited him.
She made love with him and jovially revelled in kissing and
cuddling.(4)
The powdered sweetmeats, which the Raja had prepared for the Peer,
the woman had mixed cannabis in them.
Intoxicated, all the teetotallers were maddened and knocked, and they
became the victim of their own doings(5)
All the teetotallers were flattened like the fighters in the battle-grounds.
The princess availed the opportunity and had decided to go with the
friend.(6)
No teetotaller opened his eyes even, as if they were hit by a ghost.
No one discerned the enigma, and paramour eloped with the
princess.(7)( 1)

Pritham Singh was a very brave Raja, and most of the other Rajas in

Jhakhjhoomer Devi was his daughter, who had been cast by the
Brahma’s own goldsmith.
There used to live a Kashatri who was imbued with the trait of love.(2)
Once the Raja came to espy (Lord) Jagan Nath and brought his family
along with him..
Looking at the (magnificent) temple ofJagan Nath, the Raja said,(3)
‘All my sins have been eradicated and my living has attained its worth.
‘I have secured the vision ofJagan Nath and have touched his feet
with my hands.’( 4)
In the meantime, the princess joined in and said aloud to her father,
‘Please listen, I will sleep here tonight and will marry anyone whom
Jagan Nath suggests.’(5)
Next morning when she got up, she conveyed to her father like this,
‘Dear Father, there is one Sugar Sen Kashatri, Jagan Nath has
endowed me to him.’(6)
When the Raja heard this, he said to his daughter,
‘To whom Jagan Nath has given you, I cannot revert this.’(7)
He did not comprehend and got his head shaved off (accepted humiliation),
He thought it to be the will of Jagan Nath but, in reality, the friend
had eloped with the royal princes.(8)(l)

Tale of Gaj Gaamni Devi
Chaupaee
Listen, My King, a medieval story, in the manner of the famous sage:
(697)

Maheshar Singh was a prominent Raja; the Rajas of many countries


paid him tribute.(l)
There was a city of Maheshwaravatti, which was the epitome of the
abode of the gods.
Its resplendence could not be narrated as it rivalled, even, the vicinity
of Shiva.(2)
Gaj Gaamni Devi was his renowned daughter whose semblance was
comparable to the Moon and the Sun.
Her splendour was beyond expression, and other Rajas and the Ranis
felt envious of her.(3)
She fell in love with one man, and consequent to that, she lost her
appetite and sleep.
His name was Ghazi Rai and all the women felt satiated by his
glimpse.( 4)
When nothing else was possible, he collected a boat,
He gave it the name of Royal Princess and every body conceded to
the fact.(5)
Ascending the boat, he passed through underneath the royal palace,
(And said,) ‘If somebody wanted a boat, call me and just respond.(6)
‘Otherwise I will take the Royal Princess away and sell it somewhere else.
‘Tell me if you want to buy, otherwise, let me go away.’(7)
The foolish Raja did not discern, the day passed and the night took over.
The royal princess sent for a cauldron, went and sat in there.(8)
Closing the whole, tied it with the boat and it reached the mid-stream.
When the Raja got up in the morning, he sent his emissary there.(9)
‘If you don’t pay me for the boat, then I will take the princess (boat)
to the jungle.’
(Raja,) ‘Let him go, we cannot settle with him, and, I already have
too many boats.’(l0)
Conveying the message to the Raja thus, he took away his daughter
but that fool could not perceive.
But when he got the news of the daughter in the morning, he sat with
his head hanging down (in shame).(11)

Listen, My King, a unique story in which a wise woman played a
trick:
There was a Raja called Maheshar Singh; one like him, the God had
not created before.(l)
He used to live in the city of Maheshravatti, which, even, made the
god’s abode look modest.
He had a Rani named Bimal Mati; one like her had never been heard
before.(2)
(699)

Punjab Devi was her daughter; one like her, even (Lord) Indra and
Chandra could not get.
Her extreme resplendence made the Moon feel modest.(3)
When she was in full bloom, the Cupid commenced to beat the drum
in each of her limbs (rejuvenated her passion).
The Raja thought of her marriage and called in the priests.(4)
The Raja selected Suresh Singh, with whom, even, Moon could not compete.
She was engaged to him and the marriage party was invited.(5)
The Raja reached there, where the place for the marriage was decorated.
When the marriage party arrived, the Rani bloomed like a flower.(6)
Dohira
The princess was very pretty but her suitor was ugly.
On seeing him, the woman became depressed and felt as if she had
lost herself in the game of gambling.(7)
Chaupaee
There was a son of a Shah whose whole body was comely.
She fell in love with him and felt like writhing on the ground like a
snake.(8)
Her mother came forward when she had fallen and pm water in her
mouth.
She regained consciousness but again fell down as if hit by a canon.(9)
After about a watch when she became sentient, she asked her mother,
‘Lit a pyre and put me in the fire, don’t hand over me to that ugly faced.’(10)
The mother adored her daughter and felt bad at heart.
If the princess died, what would her mother do ?(ll)
When she regained consciousness, whimpering, she told her mother,
‘Curse upon me, why was I born in a Raja’s palace instead of the
house of a Shah?(12)
‘My destiny was dissipated, that is why I took birth at the Raja’s place.
‘Now I will go to the house of this ghastly looking man, and pass all
my days and nights lamenting.(13)
‘Malediction upon me, why was I born as a woman?
‘Oh, God why don’t you bless me with death to finish myself right
now.(l4)

‘lf whatever a person desires is fulfilled,
‘Then no one in the world will remain in distress.(16)

‘Now, either, I will kill f!1yself with a dagger or adorn the saffron
(ascetic’s) garb.
‘Either I will marry the Shah’s son or I will take poison and die.’(17)
The princess was given away to the Shah’s son without any care of
the other person.
That Raja took with him a maid, conceiving that he had married the
princess.(18)(1)

Sri Kilkanchan t Devi was his Rani, seeing her, the ladies of the town
felt furious being inferior.( 1)
The city of Naripbarvati was auspicious and was embodiment of the
heaven on the earth.
It was beyond admiration, and both, the Raja and the Rani, were
never satiated with its glory.(2)
Sri Chit Chop Mati was their daughter and a woman like her had
never been born before.
Her splendour could not be narrated as she was brimming with the
youth and the charm.(3)
There lived a magnanimous prince who set out on a hunting spree.
He chased a deer but could not apprehend it and he entered that town.(4)
The royal princess saw him and, through her mind, body and soul,
pondered over,
‘If a day comes and I gain such a handsome husband, I will sacrifice
all my lives, hereafter and heretofore.(5)
She was entangled by his looks and was spell bound.
She sent a maid, called him and mad love with him.(6)
She revelled all through the four watches, disregarding the fear of the
father and the mother.
She had arranged the cannabis, opium and poppy-husk and relished
them occupying the same bed.(7)
Totally under the spell of wine, they would revel in lovemaking:
They would adopt various postures and rejoice in kissing and cuddling.(8)
(702)

When extremely tired, they went to sleep and were swayed into deep
slumber.
In the morning her father appeared and her friend woke her up.(9)
She sent that friend to the Raja with the message,
‘The kitchen has been consecrated for sacred meals and no one is
allowed without the ablution.(l0)
‘You must take bath here and now, and then enter your daughter’s house.
‘ The Raja acquiesced, took off his clothes and went into the water-
through.(11)
When he dipped in water, she made the friend to escape.
After putting the clothes he came and the fool did not unravel the
secret.(12)
Dohira
The Raja though t himself to be very wise as he had never taken
cannabis, no even by mistake.
But through this deception, an addict slipped away hitting his head
with shoes (Humiliating).( 13)( 1)

Tale of Naabh Mati
Chaupaee
Now, listen, My King, another narrative in which a pretty woman
performed deception:
Chitpat Singh was a considerate Raja and Abla Devi was his wife.(l)
Naabh Mati was their pretty daughter, which enticed the gods, the
humans and the reptiles.
They used to live in the city of Padamvati, which made the domain of
Lord Indra feel humble.(2)
There was another Raja called Bir Kiran who inhabited the place
called Bhadravati.
A son, Haithi Singh was born at him, which made, even, the Cupid to
(703)

feel modest.(3)
Once he went out on playful hunting and entered that city.
He reached there, where the princess was taking bath and was
fascinated by her comeliness.(4)
The princess fell in love with him and she, as well, forsook her consciousness.
Both were totally engrossed, forgetting their own selves.(5)
When she observed him falling flat (unconscious in love), she put
her finger in his belly buttonhole and touched his feet.
She did not utter even a word and left for her house.(6)
She had gone away from him a couple of watches when the prince
regained consciousness.
Lamenting he left for his house and forgot all his plays and eating.(7)
Both, the prince and the princess, were stricken with separation.
Both were imbued with love and that, now, I (poet) recite to you in
verse.(8)
Savaiyya
Here, the Raja did not put a speck (the auspicious mark) on his
forehead, and there, the princess did not adorn her hair parting with
vermilion powder.
The prince abandoned all his fears and the princess got rid of all her
modesty.
There, he relinquished putting on the necklaces and, here, she never
stopped wailing,
‘Oh, my love, you have renounced eating anything and here your
beloved has determined to abdicate the soul.’(9)
Chaupaee
There, the prince was not fancying any demean our and passing all
the days lamenting.
He abandoned eating and one of his friends observed his
predicament.(10)
The prince conveyed to him about his dilemma and that a woman
had put finger at his belly-button, touched his feet,
And then, saying nothing, she had gone away somewhere.(11)
The friend could not perceive what the prince had conveyed.
Many people came, asked him but went away without comprehending.(12)
He had a Kashatri friend who was adept in love affairs.
The prince related to him his condition and he immediately grasped
(704)

the situation.(l3)
He inferred her name as Naabh Mati as she had touched his nabh, the
belly button.
The way she had touched his feet, he assumed the name of her town
as Padam (feet) Vati.(l4)
Then both went forward and did not take any third person with them.
They inferred that where there was the town of Padamvati, there lived
Naabh Mati.(l5)
Asking their way they reached there where the city of Padamvati was
situated.
Then reached the place where a flower-woman was making the
garlands,(16)
After giving her a coin he took from her a ready-made garland.
He wrote and put a letter in the garland so that the beloved could read
as soon as she took that in her hands,(17)
‘The person, whose belly-button you had placed finger on and had
touched the feet,
‘He has come to this town and wants to have a glimpse of you.’(l8)
When the letter reached the princess, she opened and did not let any
body see.
She called the flower girl, gave her a lot of money and then put a
letter in the garland and sent her back.(l9)
‘Where there is the temple of Shiva, there I will come and meet you
at midnight.
‘You come there too and make heartfelt love with me.’(20)
The prince came there at midnight and the princess was there too.
They quenched their thirst for sex as much as they longed for.(21)
She brought him home disguised as the daughter of the flower-woman.
Relinquishing the fear of the Raja, they actuated in love making day
and night.(22)
After a few days her husband came, who was so ugly that it could not
be explained.
He had pig-like big teeth, which scared, even, the elephants.(23)
The prince disguised himself as a woman and came to him in the
morning.
He was enticed by the (disguised) princess and stretched his hand to
make love.(24 )
The princess took out a knife and cut his nose.
(705)

With nose cut, he felt so ashamed that he deserted his house and ran
away to the jungle.(25)
When, with nose cut, he had fled, they took their way to the Shiva’s temple.
The prince hunted a deer, brought it and, then, both relished a feast.(26)
They both frolicked in love making till the lady lost the zest for the sex.
He went back home taking her with him and sent a maid to the Raja
(her father ).(27)
After passing through seven gates, she went and told the Raja, ‘They
had gone there where the temple of Shiva was situated.(28)
‘They tried to master the incantations and no other person knows
about this.
‘It had reversal effect, Shiva flew in rage and reduced them into
ashes.’(29)
The ashes, which had been collected at the cooking of the deer, she
showed him.
Looking at the ashes every body accepted (their demise) and but the
lover had gone to his house with his beloved.(30)(l)

Tale of Moorakh Mati
Chaupaee
There was a city of Andhvati and Bidad Sen was its Raja.
Moorakh (foolish) Mati was his wife and there was no other fool like
her in the world.
The people of the country were very much afflicted and they moved
away to go abroad.
Some of them went and complained to the Raja, ‘We are not endowed
justice.(2)
‘Please take some endeavour so that this country may, once again, flourish.’
Four women proposed that they would go and finish the Raja.(3)
Two women disguised themselves as the men and entered that country,
And the other two adorned the garbs of the mendicants and moved in.(4)
(706)

One woman committed a theft and other one caught her.


And other two, in the garb of mendicants, came forward to play
duplicity and met the Raja.(5)
The Raja pronounced for her (the thief) to be hanged and stressed for
carrying out his directive by the putting the man (woman) on the gallows.
They took (him) her to hang when the other two women dressed as
mendicants came forward.(6)
The disguised ones submitted, ‘You put one from us two mendicants
on the gallows as the talks of the heaven above there are prevalent.’
But no body had realised their deceptive motive.(7)
The other one added, ‘Why are you hanging her (the thief), you put
the mendicant on the gallows and let her go away.’(8)
The news reached the place where Bidad Sen, the Raja, was seated.
The people of the town were illiterate and, like the donkeys.
They did not know even one word of the alphabet.(9)
They had no other knowledge and were recognized as foolish and animals.
When the Raja heard this, he came forward to see the mendicants.(l0)
When he had a glimpse of them, he smiled and said,
‘Why are you longing for the gallows? Please tell me the secret as
well.’( 11)
(Reply,) ‘The sins we have committed through out our lives, they all
are eradicated through hanging.
‘The cool breeze coming from the heaven eliminates all that
transmigration.’( 12)
When the Raja ascertained that, he schemed to go himself up the gallows.
He pushed all the other away from the place and went up to the gallows.(13)
As soon as he went up and got him hanged, the mendicants ran away
and hid at a place where no body could trace them.
But, actually, relinquishing their disguise and regaining their female
pretence, they just mixed with the people of the town.(l4)
Through this chritar they annihilated the Raja and achieved
blissfulness for the town.
The people of Andh Nagar could not know that their Raja had been
eliminated through a manoeuvre.(15)(1)

She fell in love with a man and, consequently, she lost the sense of
modesty.
His name was Aghat Singh and there was no other person like him.(2)
The woman would invite him every day and rejoice in lovemaking.
In the meantime, the Raja appeared and she performed such a prank.(3)
‘Oh, Raja, you have very dreadful hair, I cannot bear them.
‘First you go and remove the hair and then revel with me on my bed.’(4)
When the Raja left to go to get shaved, the Rani felt a sigh of relief.
She found a vent, hid the paramour in there and the foolish Raja
could not find out the truth.(5)(l)

Tale of Chanchal Devi
Chaupaee
Now, My King, listen to another story, which shows how a Rani treated
the Raja:
Ganpati Singh was a worthy Raja and his enemies dreaded of him.(l)
Chanchal Devi was his Rani; there was none other who could match
with her.
The Raja used to go to the other Ranis but never showed his face to her.(2)
She was dead jealous and planned to terminate her husband.
She disguised herself as another woman and went to the house of the
Raja.(3)
(708)

The Raja did not recognise her as his wife, considering her some
other woman, he fell for her attractive semblance.
When the night fell, he called her over and made love with her.(4)
(She said,) ‘Oh, Raja, your Rani is very flirtatious.
‘She invites one person to her house and revels with him sexually.’(5)
She had conveyed to the Raja in such a way that he flew into rage.
The Raja left to go to the Rani and the Rani swiftly reached there
ahead of him.(6)
She, now, disguised her as a man, and went to the house of the co-wife,
The one, whom Raja loved and adored extremely.(7)
The Raja reached there in due course, got angry finding a man sitting
there, and thought,
‘What has my friend said, I found it true as I have seen today with my
own eyes.’(8)
He leapt forward holding a naked sword but she advanced ahead and
held him by his arm (and said),
‘You fool, it is your wife in disguise. You are deeming him as a friend.(9)
When he perceived her as his wife, he shed the wrath.
The woman added, ‘You don’t be a fool and listen to me.(l0)
‘A Brahmin priest lives in the town whose name is Chander Chorh.
‘You go and serve him sacred meal and, only then, you come and
show me your face,’(11)
When the Raja went out, she changed into the guise of a Brahmin priest.
She took the name of Chander Chorh and came to the house of the
Raja.(12)
Hearing that name, the Raja was gratified and really considered her
as Chander Chorh.
(And thought, ‘The one, in whose search we were to go abroad, has
already come here.’(l3)
When the Raja came forward and asked, the lady in the disguise of
Brahmin, expounded,
‘Those who libel the innocents, they go to the hell to suffer.(l4)
‘There, they are tied with the pillar and hot oil is poured on them.
‘They (celestial beings) cut him with sharp knives and then throw
him in the hell.(l5)
‘Oh, Raja, get the cow-dung and prepare a pyre.
‘The one who sits in it and immolates himself, he is not put to gallows
in the hell.’(16)
(709)

Dohira
Conceding to the command of the feigned-Brahmin, he sent for the
cow-dung.
By sitting in the pyre he sacrificed himself as he had no revelation of
the woman’s trick.(17)(1)

Tale of Abdaal Mati
Chaupaee
Biyaghar Ket was a Raja; no one like him had been produced by the
Creator.
He felicitated the city of Biyagharmati, which made the abode of
Lord Indra feel humble.(1)
Sri Abdaal Mati was his wife; one like her could not be found in the
humans and the reptiles.
There used to live a son of the Shah who epitomised the Cupid.(2)
Arril
His name was Sri Jas Tilak; he was very affluent, handsome and wise.
Any woman who had a glimpse of his, she would relinquish all the
norms of modesty,(3)
Chaupaee
A maid went, saw him and, then, spread cacophonies among her friends,
‘In this town, there is a man who is so handsome that, even, the Sun
and the Moon cannot contest with him.(4)
The Rani heard this, just kept in her mind and did not divulge to any
other woman.
The maid, who had seen him, she called her over.(5)
She gave her a lot of wealth, and meekly asked her,
‘Where is that man, whom you have met, I want to have a glimpse of
him.’(6)
Then the maid told her, ‘You listen, Rani, what I relate to you,
(710)

‘His name is Jas Tilak and he is the son of a Shah.(7)


‘If you wish, I will make him to meet you to eliminate your urge for
the Cupid.
Hearing this, the Rani humbly fell on her feet and requested,(8)
‘If you make him to encounter me, I will give you whatever you
desire for.’
The maid went there immediately and brought the lucky one and
introduced to her.(9)
Chaupaee
Both were young and rich and they felt blissful through lovemaking as,
Both of them were ridden with passion and, on top of that, they had
savoured wine.(11)
Caressing and cuddling, they adopted various postures and endowed
bliss to each other.
Kissing, they caused bruises through their nails, the night passed by
and the Sun rose.(l2)
Next day, Rani went to her husband but, in her heart, she longed for
her paramour,
‘Why doesn’t the Sun set and the Moon rises so that my friend can
come and make love withme?(l3)
‘If I remain with the Raja, then the oldie Raja will disappoint me.
‘What would I attain by sleeping with him? I will just miss the
enjoyment of my friend.(l4)
‘How could I go to the bed of the friend and bruise him with my nails?
‘I cannot cherish to sleep with the old Raja, what duplicity should I
play?’(l5)
She went and talked to the Raja, ‘Please, My Raja, listen to me.
‘A cat has scratched my breasts,’ and showed all those to the Raja.(l6)
Arril
‘Listen, My Raja, I cannot sleep with you tonight, rather I will spend
whole night lying down in my bed.
‘Here, the cat scratches me but, My Naive Raja, you have no power
to stop.’(l7)
Through such chicanery, she abandoned slumbering with the Raja
and enjoyed sex with the friend.
She had displayed the bruises caused by the nails but foolish could
not discern.(l8)(1)

Tale of Kanchan Devi
Chaupaee
Achal Sen was a renowned Raja whose splendour was compareable
to the Sun and the Moon.
Kanchan Devi was his wife who had been created by Brahma with
His own hands.(l)
The Raja ruled over Kanchan Pur and he was known for his bravery
and astuteness.
He had annihilated many enemies and, consequently, all the people
dreaded him.(2)
A Shah named Prabhakar Sen used to live there, whose semblance
made the Moon feel humble.
When the Rani saw him, she resolved in her mind,(3)
‘How can I possess him and how can I send a maid to get him?
‘I cannot remain without making love with him, somehow I must
procure him.’( 4)
There used to live a fairy by the name of Kanak Pinjri who was under
the obligation of the Rani.
With the help of an intrepid, she managed to pick his bed and bring it
to the Rani.(5)
She made so much love with him that two bodies seemed to be
amalgamated.
She discarded the love with her husband and quadrupled her affection
for him.(6)
She went and told the Raja that, through my previous life, he was my
brother.
‘As a consequent of a curse of a sage, we both were born here now.(7)
‘The sage had told that we would be credited in due course, and,
after sometime in the temporal world, we will be readmitted in the
heaven.(8)
(712)

‘I had relished a lot of bliss in your house and now the expiry of the
sage’s curse is nearing completion.’
Saying so, she came back and, along with the fairy she called the son
of the Shah there.(9)
Chaupaee
(Rani to Fairy,) ‘You must shout, “she is going, she is going” in sky.’
Acquiescing thoroughly, the fairy assured to act like that.(10)
Along with the Shah’s son, she came to the Raja and after informing
him, they eloped in a hideout.
And the voices, ‘she is going, she is going’ emanated from the sky.(11)
Arril
‘She is going, she is going’ spread all over and the Raja and his subject
understood,
That she, along with her brother had proceeded to the heaven.(12)
Chaupaee
All the people consoled the Raja, ‘Your Rani has gone to the heavens.
‘You must not worry and get another wise and pretty lady as your
wife.’ (13)(1 )

asked him to get some treatment.(3)

Tale of Hingla Devi
Chaupaee
Where the city of Doultabad is situated, Bikat Singh was the Raja of
the place.
Bhan Manjri was his wife, and one like her, Brahma did not create again.(1)
There lived a Shah named Bheem Sen who was the embodiment of
the Moon.
His wife’s name was Aftab Devi’. She was, as if moulded in the golden
mould.(2)
She wished in her mind that, somehow, she should get countenance
of a goddess.
She went to sleep when every body was awake and she suddenly
started to blurt in dream.(3)
She shouted and told every body,
‘I had the vision of the goddess, and whatever 1 say, it will be done
and there is no doubt about that.’(4)
Hearing this, people came forward and fell on her feet.
She started to act like the mother of all, and the news reached the Raja.(5)
‘There is a lady in the city, which calls herself as the Goddess Hingla Devi.
‘She pretends to be the mother of all and embraces every body.(6)
The reverence for the Quazies, the Maulana (Muslim clergy), the
Brahmins, began to diminish,
And her glory started to capture every body’s thought.(7)
(714)

All those impersonators, became jealous bearing lot of money going


to the goddess.
They apprehended her, took her to the Raja and made fun of her.(8)
‘Come on, show us a miracle or abandon calling yourself as the goddess.
Then the woman spoke, ‘Listen to me, my Raja,(9)
‘The Muslims consider the mosque as the house of Allah and the
Brahmins worship the idols.
‘First, they should show me some miracle and, then, I will perform
one.’(10)
Chaupaee
Harkening to this, the Raja smiled and called in all the Brahmins and
the Quazies.
Also the shaven-head ones and the ascetics, which were
innumerable.(11)
Arril
Making audible for everybody, he pronounced in the court,
‘All of you display your miracles, right now, failing which you will
be put to death.’(12)
Hearing the Raja’s verdict, all were taken aback and they all were
thrown in the deep waters of anguish.
With their heads hanging in fear, they looked mercifully towards the
Raja as none of them could show any miracle.(l3)
The Raja flew into the rage and ordered for them to be given seven
hundred whips each.
‘Either you show some miracle or you beg by putting your heads at
the feet of the lady,’ (he said),(14)
‘Oh, you the (Muslim) Maulana, display some thing out of your house
of Allah, failing which shave your heads off (in shame).
‘Oh, you the Brahmins, you demonstrate some miracle, other wise I
won’t let you go and throw your idols in the river.(1S)
‘You, the ascetics, either you show some miracle or get your tangled-
tresses cut off.
‘And you the Renouncers, you come on, display some wonder,
otherwise you throw your wooden rosaries away in the river.’(16)
Dohira
They all started to wail and could express nothing.
Then, the Raja asked the woman humorously,(17)
(715)

Chaupaee
They have not shown any marvel, now I wish you some act of yours.’
Hmgla Devi, then, expounded, ‘My Raja, Listen to me,(l8)
Arril
‘The first miracle is in the sword, whose authority is accepted in the world.
‘On the edge of which the death and the life revel and I revere the
sword as the Almighty.(19)
‘And the second miracle is the God, Himself, whose sovereignty is
prevailing in all the fourteen regions.
‘In time the world flourishes and in time the world is decimated and,
to me, the time is my guru.(20)
His miracle is reckoned and it remains prevalent, through whom the
world is manoeuvring.
And the fourth miracle is the wealth, which turns the destitute ones
into the Rajas.(2l)
Chaupaee
‘In all these people, there are no miracles, they are the means of
making money.
‘If they had any talent for wonders, they would not be begging from
door to door.(22)
First you annihilate them and then you may eliminate me.
‘I have demonstrated the truth to you, now you proceed the way you
deem fit.’(23)
The Raja was appeased to hear her talk and endowed her lot of wealth.
She had designated herself the mother of the universe, and with God’s
grace saved herself.(24)

Tale of Mehtaab Mati
Chaupaee
Where there is the city of Bijapur, there lived a Shah called Edil Shah.
(716)

Sri Mehtaab Mati was his wife and no other lady like her had taken
birth before.(1)
When that woman attained the youth, with her ravishing eyes, she
looked most beautiful.(2)
There was a son of the Shah who, through his sweet eloquence and
handsome visage, deemed to be an obedient son.
Dhoomer Ket was his name and he could be matched with the Moon
and Lord Indra.(3)
Begum was fascinated by him, and, as a result of that, lost her sleep
and appetite.
Since the time she saw him in that house, she abandoned relishing
anything.(4)
She called a lady-friend, took her in confidence and sent her there,
‘If you get that son of Shah to meet me, I will give all the weal th you
desire for.’(5)
The friend went at the wind’s speed and in the twinkling of eye reached
there.
He paid her compliments, and that wise one took her seat in his house,’(6)
(She asked,) ‘What is your name and which country you come from?
‘You tell me all about you and then grace the princes’s bed.’(7)
(Reply,) ‘Listen, my friend, I belong to the country of Madhar and
people call me Dhoomer Ket.
‘I go from country to country and conduct trade with the Rajas.’(8)
First, she en ticed him through talks and then lured him by offering
various incentives,
And, then, she brought him there, where the princess was waiting.(9)
As promised, the damsel gave her lot of money and took him in her
embrace.
She collected various types of wines and, squatting on the bed, they
savoured them.(10)
Cherishing variety of wines they revelled in singing sweet songs.
And they rejoiced in love making without any fear of the Raja.11)
The woman did not part with him, not even for a moment,
And when she left to go on hunting, she took him inside the howdah.(l2)
She would revel sexually with him in there, without any fear of her
father and mother.
Once Raja set out on hunting and took with him a number of
maids.(13)
(717)

Begum accompanied too and she got a howdah fixed on the elephant.
One of the maids saw him going up to the howdah, and she disclosed
that to the Raja.(l4)
The Raja kept it to his heart and did not divulge to anybody.
When the daughter’s elephant came close by, then he called his
daughter over.(l5)
Begum dreaded and so did her friend and said,
‘The Raja will apprehend me now and will kill me right here in the
jungle.’(l6)
‘Oh, my consort, you don’t fear, you just play the trick I suggest to you.’
She drove the elephant through under the trees and, holding the
branches, he climbed up the tree.(l7)
She went towards her father and hunted many bears, deer and stags.
The father, seeing her alone, kept quiet, thinking, ‘The maid had told
me a lie.’(l8)
Contrarily, he punished that maid for giving him false information.
After hunting, they came back home, and her elephant passed under
the same tree.(l9)
Arril
Holding him by the arm she pulled him in the howdah and felt blissful
through lovemaking.
Laughing and cuddling they revelled in sex, reflecting that the Raja
could not fathom the antic.
Dohira
First she had pushed him up on the tree and then brought him home.
She countered the truth of the maid and depicted her as liar.(21)(1)

After crossing eyes with him, females could not go back to their
homes, and would fell flat.(3)
Chaupaee
When the royal-princess saw him, through her mind, body and soul
she thought,
‘Somehow I will get him in my house and, blissfully, revel in love
making.(4)
After considerate understanding, she sent a maid to his place.
She had given her lot of wealth and, somehow, she brought the prince
there.(5)
She made love through various postures, without the fear of any body.
In the meantime her father came in and he (the paramour) was
extremely aggrieved.( 6)
When she could not think of some excuse, she hit upon a plan.
She hid him in the canopy and pulled the strings to make him stand
straight.(7)
She covered it with another canopy so that no part of his body could
be recognised.
Then she leapt forward, welcomed her father and paid him
obeisance.(8)
Arril
She made her father to take seat under the canopy and served him
fruits, one by one.
When the Raja had gone, she took the friend out of the canopy and
asked him to bedeck her bed.(9)

Through this trick she deceived the Raja and no body could discern.
By going to his daughter’s house, he got his head shaved off (faced
humiliation).(10)(1)

craftiness:
Where there is this great place ofTribank, there was a Raja called

of Indra and Chanderama.
Sri Ras Reet was his wife; she seemed to have been moulded in the

One day the damsel went to the garden, she had twen ty to fifty friends
with her.
When she was on her way, she came across a man.( 4)
His name was Sher Singh and a glimpse of his could entice, even, the
consort of the Cupid.
How far could I narrate his admiration; that could take a whole volume
of granth in itself?(5)
Arril
Since the time she saw her, she kept on reminiscing about his charm
in her mind,
‘Through any means I will invite him and make love with him
contentedly.’(6)
Chaupaee
She sent one of her maids and, somehow, called him over.
Reciting the couplets they, blissfully, revelled in love making.(7)
When, with her own eyes, she saw the Raja coming, she devised this prank.
She collected the hair-removing powder and applied on his face.(8)
He held a broom in his hand, she put a basket full of coins on his head.
She showered obscenities and called her (him) low-born.(9)
(721)

The Raja joined her and pushed him out without perceiving the reason.

sweeper,(10)
Thinking, ‘She might touch my body and defiling my piety’.
He was not recognised and, taking the money he went to his
house.(11)(l)

Madh Mokal Devi was his wife, who was, as if, created by the God,
Himself.(1)
Rajahad a very heavy build up and he did not love his wife.
He would call the ascetic yogis day and night to regain the yogic chritars.(2)
Listening to the explications of the yogis, in anger, the Rani deliberated,
‘I must plan some strategy through which, along with the Raja, I
finish these yogis today.(3)
‘I will endow the kingdom to my friend after annihilating them.
‘After finishing them, displaying to the subject, I will put crown on
the head of the friend.’(4)

As they walked in, she put noose around their necks and, including
the Raja, she hang them all.(5)
She put the Raja under the bed and also placed both the yogis
underneath.
She placed the friend on the royal throne and told the people,(6)
‘When the Raja came home last evening, he called both the yogis in.
‘Suddenly a snake appeared there and the yogis got excited.(7)
‘They killed the snake and put that in an earthen mortar.
‘They ground it along with the cannabis, drank it and, extremely,
enhanced their bodies.(8)
‘Their bodies expanded and they took the shape of the elephants.
‘After about two hours, their bodies were burst and they escaped the
transmigration.(9)
‘They had achieved the ages of twelve years after shedding their old
bodies.
‘Then relinquishing their bodies they took their way to the heaven,(l0)
‘Observing all this, the Raja was perplexed and told me like this,
“Let us eat the snake, renounce the bodies and journey to the
heaven.”(11)
‘Declaring as such the Raja, as well, consumed the snake and, being
under the fear, 1 could not check him.

into a young and handsome man.(l2)
‘He has abdicated his old body and, through the medicine, attained a
youthful visage. .
‘The Raja has become a man of comely looks and now, let us put

There used to live a merchant called Oharmi Rai; apparently he was
the prominent one.(l)
Champa Devi was the wife of the merchant who was very pretty and intelligent.
She saw the Raja’s son whose name was Chabbi Rai.(2)
Arril
Considering her as a confidant, she called a maid and sent her to
Chabbi Rai.
She asked her to bring him even if she had to beseech thousands of times.(3)
The maid, acquiescing to all her talks, went and, somehow, brought
him there.
She soothed herself through various means after sav0uring numerous
(740)

types of wines.( 4)
They relished wines squatting on the bed and made love through
diverse means,
While discussing the Koka Shastara and pulling each other with their
hands on the shoulder,(5)
They revelled in sex with full vigour and rejoiced without any fear.
They frolicked and attained bliss without any anxiety.(6)
Chaupaee
The woman felt relief by making love and spent whole night relishing
the sex.
First watch had just gone by, and when the last watch commenced,
they regained awareness.(7)
The prince said to the princess, ‘Now you let me go,
‘Some body may see us, and meeting the Raja will disclose our
secret.’(8)
Then the merchant’s daughter said, ‘My Prince, listen to me.
‘If I serve you wine in the presence of everyone, only then I will
consider my worthiness as the daughter of a merchant,’(9)
‘And also, there I will make love with you, matching limb to limb.
‘All the people will witness us but will not think it as good or bad.’(l0)
Asserting thus, she sent the prince away and, in the morning, disguised
herself as a man.
She travelled to the house of the prince and no body had any
qualms.(11)
The prince engaged her as a servant and retained her among the ministers.
She would serve him all the foods and drinks and no one else was
permitted to go in there.(l2)
One day she took a decanter full of wine and went for hunting with the lover.
She had drenched the decanter in water and let the water drip
underneath.( 13)
Everybody took the drops trickling down as water but no one realised
them to be of wine.
When they reached the jungle, the woman said to the prince,(l4)
‘Oh, you the egoist one, you are thirsty, have some cold water.’
She filled up a cup and gave that to her lover and the people around
took that to be water.(l5)
Then she took a kebab in her hand and said, ‘Now you relish this
fruit of the jungle.
(741)

‘I have specially plucked it for you as it is very delicious.’(l6)


When it was mid-day, she told all the people,
‘You all go with the Raja as we are going to worship Jagan Nath, the god.’(l7)
Everybody left with the raja and the man and the woman were left alone.
They spread curtain all around and, jovially, revelled in love
making.(l8)
Dohira
Through this trick, both remained behind to rejoice the sex.
They deluded both, the Raja and the subject, who could not understand
the reality.(l9)(l)

Arril
Sri Alkesh Mati was their daughter; she was epitome of a fairy, a
nymph or a child of the nature.
Born out of the Moon, with the blessings of the gods, or out of the
Sun, there had never been one like her in the past.(2)
There used to live a Kashatri named Sajul Rai who was very handsome
and intellectual.
Facing him, even, the Cupid shed his pride, as he was extremely
good looking.(3 )
The princess, seeing him one day, was enticed and contemplated in
her mind,
‘What should I do now to espouse him, lest I meet him, I will
incinerate myself.’(4)
She called in a maid and, after making her to discern, she sent her to
(742)

the prince,
‘Whatever I tell you, you go and convey to the prince,
‘And keep the secret in your heart and don’t divulge to any one.’(5)
She sent the maid to the prince, who, after making him to understand

Taking the advantage of the situation she said, ‘You take this
incantation from me and elope in the water.(11)
Till the time you keep on reciting the incantation, water won’t come
near you and keep you surrounded from all the four sides.’(l2)
The friend took the incantation from her and jumped into the Ganga (river).
The water encircled him from all directions but had not effect.(l3)
Through this trick she dispatched the friend into the water and, then,
told her father and mother,
‘Oh, My Father, I will conduct a Swayamber in the morning to chose
a nice husband for me.(l4)
‘Please, Dear Father, listen to me and go to the Ganga in the morning
and churn it.
‘Any person who appears out of it, he will become my husband.’(l5)
The Raja was delighted to hear this but the fool could not sort the
truth from the pretension.
And, along with his subject, he journeyed to the Ganga, in the beats
of the drums, to churn it.(l6)
They prepared churning-staffs by cutting the huge trees, and placed
them in the water.
(743)

When they had churned just a little, a man emerged from the water.(l7)
Impressed by his handsomeness, she selected that prince.
The imprudent Raja had no indication and, through the duplicity, the
lady married him.(I8)

her there.
The prince did not consent and she conveyed back his decision.(4)
The merchant’s daughter tried very hard but she could not get him to
come to her house,
She summoned a vampiric entity, which thrashed him from his bed
to the ground.(5)
The ghost would pull his legs and sometime grab him to throw him
on the bed.
(744)

It made him dread but, taking pity on him, he did not get him killed.(6)
Whole night he was not let to sleep and, constantly, was kept under
fright.
The news travelled to the Raja and he summoned the minister who
could eliminate of the ghosts.(7)

incantations recounted by the ghost.
He would cut some and thrash the others.(8)
When all the spells were exhausted, the ghost said,
‘If you go and fetch my preceptor, only then the prince will be cured.’(9)
The Raja fell on his feet and acclaimed his worthiness,
‘Where is your preceptor? Tell me quick to enable me to fetch him.’(l0)
He named somebody, and the woman disguised herself as such.
The place, which was divulged to the Raja, she went and sat there.(11)
The Raja arrived there immediately and saw the (disguised) man sitting
there.
He, somehow, convinced him (her) and brought him (her) along to
his house.(l2)
He (she) was introduced to the prince and she pronounced,
‘If he revels with a woman, only then he can be saved, otherwise,
there is no chance.’(l3)

daughter of the merchant,
‘If you want to save the prince then you will have to marry him with
that chaste woman.(l4)
‘He should marry her, bring her to his house and revel with her day
and night,
‘Don’t fantasise any other woman, only then he can achieve the
accomplished body.(l5)
‘Oh, My Raja, you take such steps and get him married.’
She took the permission and went back to her house.(l6)
The Raja made all the preparation and sent his son to her house for
marriage.
As soon as he was married, the ghost left him alone.(l7)
Through such a deception, she achieved the prince and no one
distrusted.
The female deceptions are so varied that, even, the God is put in
predicament.(l8)(1)

‘What can I do? Tell me, where should I go? Either I will kill myself
or you decimate me.
‘Alas! My heart is tormented because you don’t want to copulate
with me.(l2)
Savaiyya
‘To-day, I will perform kissing postures with you with great passion.
‘Oh! Egoist, whatever the way you get satisfaction I will enact to
appease you.
‘First I will serve you marijuana, opium and wine, and, then, I will
drink myself.
‘You may try millions of times, but I will never let you go without
amorous play.(l3)
‘Howsoever excuses you may find, without carnal activity, I will not
let you go.
‘Otherwise, always envisioning an encounter with you, I will keep
on burning in the fire of passion.
‘Or, once for all, I will abandon my adornments and ornamentations.
‘Either you love me, at least once, or I will tear off my chest, and
perish.(14)
(754)

‘Oh! My beautiful, favour me with ravishing sexuality: I am all Your


merchandise.
‘My compassionate, there is no other place I can go to. Today I am
mad after you.
‘Oh! You the self-conceited, your fame has entangled me. Why have
you become so taciturnity?
‘Neither you understand the need of the time, nor you listen to me;
youth of us both is withering.’(l5)
The daughter of the banker, applied all sorts of tactics to allure the Raja.
Inwardly he was astounded. Keeping his hands folded (in humility)
he kept his proud mouth shut.
Saying, ‘alas, alas’ and going down on her feet, she became weary,
but he did not heed to.
She talked a lot but that fool did not acquiesce and remained
passive.(l6)
Chaupaee
When the Raja did not agree to any of her proposals, she flew into rage.
She winked to her handmaids, and they took hold of Raja’s hands.(l7)
They took off his turban and hit him seven hundred times with the shoes.
There was none present there to come to protect the Raja.(l8)
The Raja realised, ‘As none of my servants has come, this woman
will kill me.
‘She will not let me go and, beating again, she will send me to Yama.’(20)
When he had been served sixteen hundred shoe-beatings, the Raja
opened his eyes,
‘This woman will beat me to death. Who would come to my rescue?’
(he thought).(21)
Then once again Raja said, ‘Oh! Lady I cannot understand your
chritars.
‘Don’t get me beaten with the shoes. Whatever you want, come and do it.’
When the daughter of the Shah heard this, she nabbed him and revelled
in love-making.(23)
She blended opium, marijuana and wine, and, then, executed numerous
postures.
Embracing, they kissed each other and he pushed his genital in her vagina.(24)
She relished when the Raja shoved his genitalia in hers.
From underneath there, she grabbed him, and positioning variably,
began to give him kisses.(25)
(755)

Holding him tight, she hugged him and matched posture with posture.
Both touched their lips with lips, and pressed the chest with the
chest.(26)
Thus she copulated with the Raja and her playful heart was elated.
Then she bade farewell to the Raja and, herself, took the way to another
country.(27)
The woman had said goodbye to the Raja after conducting such a deception.
Whatever the woman did to him, even, the Raja did not disclose to
anyone else.(28)
Dohira
A few days later, the Raja called the lady back again.
He took her as his Queen, and, then, no one could discern the
deception.(29)(1)

Tale of Shiv Devi
Chaupaee
Listen, My King, I relate to you another story; what I narrate is, how
a damsel played the hoax.
There was a town in the name of Andwati; Rai Singh was its Raja.(1)
Shiv Devi was an auspicious lady who was pretty, knowledgeable
and well behaved.
The Raja used to author stories, which he wrote and read to the
females.(2)
When Shiv Mati heard about this trait she shook her head mockingly,
‘Either I will play with him some subterfuge, or I will get something
written by him after making love.(3)
Somehow, she managed to come and see him during the day.
She embraced him and made love with him in assorted manners.(4)
Although the husband had sex adopting various postures, she did
not abandon the bed.
She clung to his chest as she had sold herself to the Raja’s generosity.(5)
(756)

After making love, when she went to her house, she told her friends,
‘The Raja had invited me and had sex with me during the day.’(6)
When her in-laws and the other ladies listened to this,
That she had sex with him, they just deliberated on it as a fiction.(7)
Then Shiv Devi expounded, ‘I was trying to judge your reaction.
‘On learning our about this, what would you do, keep quiet or get
angry with me?(8)
Arril
‘During the day, what type of a lady can indulge in such acts and
how can she go to the house of a paramour?
‘And, moreover, who would confess after committing such an act.
Wouldn’t she keep the secret in her heart?’(9)
Chaupaee
Hearing all that, everybody deemed it true and never spread
cacophonies onward.
The one who revels like this, never reveals to the others.(10)
She had convinced the people and, then, she wrote a letter to her lover,
‘Oh, My Paramour, please be kind to me and add this chritar in the
Granth too.’(11)

Chritar Four Hundred and Four


Tale of Shri Immortal Lord
Chaupaee
Sagacious Talk
There had been a King named Sat Sandh, before the advent ofSatyug,
the Age of Truth.
His fame was spread over fourteen continents (of the world) because
he had summoned the Rishis (the sages), such as Narad.(1)
He had become the head of all the gods with the endowment of the
sign of authority affixed on his forehead by Brahma, in view of his
efforts to annihilate all the devils.(2)
(757)

Many years had elapsed, thus, when the Devil Deeragh was born,
He was infuriated and raided him (the King) with a huge army of ten
thousands khuhnnis (a mixed force of 21,870 elephants, 21,870
chariots, 65,610 horses and 109,350 foot soldiers).(3)
All the gods heard the news that Devil Deeragh had invaded.
They took with them army of twenty khuhnnis and went into the war.(4)
The Sun was established as the supreme commander and put the Moon
towards the right flanks.
Kartikeya (the son of Shiv a) took over the control of the left flank as
no one could subdue him.(5)
From this side all the gods raided and from the other all the devils.
The war trumpets blew and from both sides roared the dauntless
men.(6)
Beating the tambourines and war drums, and drinking and drinking
again they were getting intoxicated.
With thirty thousand Khuhnnis, the Master of the Universe initiated
himself into the war.(7)
When assorted trumpets generated the cries of death, then, the Devil,
Deeragh,jumped into the battlefield.
Sharp arrows flew, and anyone hit with them could not survive.(8)
As soon as the gods marched forward, the devils flew into rage.
With the sounds of countless trumpets, they turned horses to enter
(the fighting) sharply.(9)
From both sides the arrows flew in abundance; and also spears,
daggers and thousands of other arms.
One who faced (God’s) wrath, was annihilated along with ones chariot.(10)
The one who was hit with an arrow, preferred to leave for the heavenly
abode.
Many braves last their lives, and the spirits, ghosts and demons began
the dances (of death).(11)
Swaying to and fro, many were falling down, and some had their
limbs scattered.
Even the Vaiternee (the Hindu mythological) stream felt ashamed in
front of the flowing blood current.(12)
The gods on the one side flew in rage and, on the other hand, the
devils put their feet down.
In wrath they, too, staggered, lost their lives but did not retreat.(13)
Millions, who fell down fighting and were cut down, were embraced
(758)

by fairies.
On both sides, the ones initiated by death, had lost their lives but
without turning away their heads from the fight.(l4)
From the side of the gods, the Sat Sandh ran forward. And from the
other side Deeragh roared out.
The wounds inflicted with the arrows, as strong as stones and as
poisonous as scorpions, were bringing them down.(15)
Jachh, the demigod female ascetic, was delighted. And the spirits
and the ghosts danced.
The lady of the death was narrating jovially. Hearing the dreadful
cries, others were getting horrified, .(16)
Grinding their teeth, the devils were roaming around, and the dead
braves were dribbling out blood.
The jackals were howling and the spirits were relishing the flesh
eating(1l)
The Devil Surpat built a strong fort and Asuri Devils, as well, did the
same.
A great fighting broke out with the roars of other devils.(l8)
Great warriors fell down; some were devils and some were gods,
It appeared as none was escaping the death.(19)
If the deeds of the each one were narrated, then, I am afraid, it would
end into an enormous Granth,
As there were thirty thousand khuhnnis of warriors who had fought
in the war.(20)
The foot soldiers had faced the foot soldiers and the riders confronted
the riders.
The chariots destroyed the chariots and elephant-driver combated
the elephants-drivers.(21)
The Kings fought with the Kings and the armies were annihilated.
And the Kings who were saved, flew into the rage and jumped into
the fighting again.(22)
The Kings of the devils and the gods employed so many tactics,
That I am unable to narrate fearing to increase the volume of the
Granth.(23)
Bhujang Parryat Chhand
How far the narration of the exchanges of (he steel might be narrated
as on both sides no warriors were saved.
(759)

The brave chieftains were involved and their acts made, even, the
earth tremble.(24)
The princes fought so valiantly that it looked as if doom’s day had
arrived. Even one’s own hand was not visible, nor the sky and the
earth were noticeable.(25)
Arril
When thirty khoonees of the troops were annihilated, both the kings
further flew into rage,
While grinding their teeth and consistently showering arrows, they
ravaged in acute wrath.(26)
Chaupaee
They kept on fighting over twenty years and, in due course, both
died, By killing each other.(2l)
Bhujang Chhand
When thirty thousand khuhnnis of troops had been destroyed,
Both the sides had fought to death,
The steel striking steel had culminated in huge fire,
Through which an eminent goddess was manifested.(28)
The one who had manifested through fire and thus,
Laced herself with the arms, and laughed.
She was so pretty that, even, the Sun and the Moon felt
embarrassed.(29)
She roamed around in all four directions like a rosary of snakes.
But she could not come across any unique personality,
Which she could accept as her own taming consort.(30)
At the end, she determined that she would adopt the Creator to tame her,
And would serve Him day and night to please Him.(31)
She became very conscious and rendered various types of incantations.
Goddess Bhawani became benevolent and blessed her thus,(32)
‘Oh! My daughter, don’t be dismayed. The Formless will espouse you.
‘From now on you concentrate Him in your mind, and, whatever the way
He desires, you perform.’(33)
With the endowment of this boon,
The queen of the world felt adorned.
With refined thought she went into deep sleep,
There, where there was no one else.(34)
When the midnight approached, the celestial consorts willed,
(760)

‘When the Danaw Biraj Devil has been killed,


‘Then, you the pretty one, will espouse me.’(35)
Stanzas (36) to (376) give the details of her struggles and fighting
details between her and devils, and goodies and baddies are narrated.
Only a few excerpts are given below:
Then she meditated upon the Goddess Kalka and the Lord God
manifested.
She bent down on His feet to pay obeisance and presented her varied
difficulties.(52)
‘In this true age I am your slave and, deeming me as your own, help me
‘Without weighing my compassion or malice, please consider my
request of seeking your protection.’(53)
The Kal (God) laughed aloud and, to save His devotee, girded up his lions,
(And said) ‘Don’t worry, I will come to the rescue of my adherents
and kill all the devils.’(56)
Watching the confrontations, even, the Brahma, the God was shattered
and disguised as a woman.
Parbati’s husband (Shiva) was dreaded watching the war too.(83)
The earth shook and the sky thundered.
With the footsteps of the horses, even, the mountains melted.
The severity of arrows brought so much darkness around,
That one hand was not visible to the other.(84)
The arrows becoming like the scorpions were showered in the
battlefield.
And the warriors were pulling the hard bows and were throwing (the
arrows) so fast,
That ( they were) piecing through the bodies of the enemies.(85)
When a great number of soldiers gathered in the field,
The Maha Kaal, the great god of death, flew into the rage.
He shot lot of arrows and killed innumerable enemies.(86)
Through all the steel, which fell on the ground,
A great number of devils sprung out into human bodies.
They all showered arrows, and as a result more devils took human
forms.(87)
But whatever in number they came, they were annihilated.
Such a great number were killed that I cannot, even, numerate.(88)
All the fourteen regions were shaken and all became full of devils.
Even the gods, Brahma and Vishnu were dreaded and approached
(761)

the Supreme Being for shelter.(89)


They all started to cry the way a plundered Shah does,
“Awfully dreaded we have come to seek your protection. Please save us.(90)
“You are the Supreme Being and benevolent to the destitutes.
“You are Immortal, Self extant and need no protection.(9l)
“You have no maladies and no perversions.
“You are unborn and need no shelter.(91)
“You are devoid of imperfections and are disease proof and for ever
illuminating.
“You are self illuminative and you are unbound by the
relationships.(92)
“You are the destroyer of the enemies and comforter of the saints,
and killers of Chund Mund devils,
“With true company, you reside in the realm of truth and you are
absolved from the past, present and future.(93)
“You manifest in every form and dwell in every body.
“You reflect through every body and the gods, Sanak, Sadan have
confirmed so.(94)
“You have been unique in the beginning and have been rambling
with varial1t aspects.
“Letting the universe ponder over you speculatively, you are
preserving your singularity as well as multitudinous.(95)
“In every form of life you dwell there.
“Entire being is created by you.
“Through your light comes the whole creation,
“And it is acclaimed as the life.(96)
“Bowing at your feet, we beg for your solicitation,
“You have been protecting us since from the beginning,”
Hearing the plea, Kal (laughed) giggling,
And became benevolent acquiescing to their devotion.(l00)
He pronounced, ‘Saved, saved’ and protected all the gods,
And saved all those who had fought the devils.(l02)
Only one nether world was saved after the dreadful war was over.
The Maha Kal sweated, and after wiping it (the sweat) off, he sprinkled
it on the earth.(109)
Bhata Acharya (a god) sprung out of the sweat thrown as such.
The bard, Sain, came into existence next to whom, who compiled the
Karkha Chhant (couplets).(110)
(762)

Whenever Kal bashed them (enemies) on the ground, their blood


garnished the earth.
All the devils would run away when they were graced with the arrows,
the swords, the spears,(116)
On the one side was Bhata Acharya complimenting and on the other
Sain was serenading the Karkha Chhant.(119)
Each soldier was capable of drinking a tank full of wine, and, th us,
enabling himself to eat the humans,
After drinking tens of vessels full of wine, they would come instantly
to fight.(124)
Like this the dreaded fights were enacted and Kal was getting much
more furious,
The devils were pulled through the hair and then were slaughtered
with the swords.(146)
The devils hurled fire in rage, from which, Path an, the wielder of
bows were born,
And when they discharged fire with their breaths, the Mughal were
upraised.(198)
Then the Devil Dhiraj threw flames from his moUth in rage, and
through them Sayeds and Sheikhs were born.
They all emerged laced with all sorts of arms and conducted their
horses to perform the war dances.(l99) The furious Khans and Pathans
carrying swords came forward, full of wrath.
They raided the Mahan Kal but could not harm even an iota of
Him.(200)
Numerous Pathans came and they were fully intoxicated with wine.
They were awfully barbarians and their names, I narrate them to
you.(201)
Nahar Khan,Jharrajhat Khan and the young Nihang Khan and
Bharrang Khan.
Also Jhangar Khanjumped into the fight and Akit Khan adorned
himself with many arms.(202)
Bairam Khan, Khan Bahadur and great warrior Bahadur Khan,
Rustam Khan, taking an efficient army commenced the march.(203)
Hassan Khan, Hussein Khan beseechingly brought forward Khan
Mohammed who was inebriated.
Samna Khan and Samsro Khan, proceeded grinding their teeth.(204)
Immediately they showered arrows and wanted to kill Maha Kal.
(763)

But when Maha Kal came across bow-shots, he broke them into pieces
and threw them on the ground(205)
Hundreds of pieces, he threw away, as Maha Kal had become furious,
He threw a barrage of arrows in turn and the Pathans fell flat on the
earth.(206)
This way the army of the Pathans was treated, and the dread of the
Mughals was gotten rid off.
In instant, so many braves had fallen down that it appeared Indra,
himself, had annihilated them.(2l0)
This way when all the army of Sayeds was eradicated, the army of
the Sheikhs abandoned the fields.
When Maha Kal saw them running away, he did not throw arrows on
them.(2l7)
Such a dreadful war had been ensued, and it seemed never to end.
All the Muslims produced by the devils, Maha Kal had exterminated
instantly.(227)
Then the word Hooan was pronounced which initiated various diseases,
Such as cold fever, hot-fever, cough and other ailments.(234)
Chaupaee
How long should I go on narrating, I am afraid the magnitude of the
granth will become too big.
This way the devils were decimated, and the God thus displayed his
play.(247)
This way when all the devils were finished, the Almighty thought,
If everybody had died then who would run my show and participate
in my manifestation.(248)
Then, He endowed them a boon that various medicines would be
produced through you.
Those who get afflicted bodily would be rejuvenated through these
medicines.(249)
With such boon, through all the dead devils, various medicines were
produced,
Which had typical medicinal effects and cured many diseases.(250)
Chaupaee
The antagonist devil did not heed to and Maha Kal was infuriated.
The devil did not realise his inadequacy and with ego he challenged,
‘My feet are not made to turn back from the fight, because I am the
(764)

king of the devils.


Although my inner-body has been snatched by the hawks into the
sky, still I am capable of throwing the arrow.’(370)
Then he bowshot many arrows, and his celestial sword severed many.
Twenty thousand devils were made target of arrows, and Master of
the Sword, emitted many types of shots.(371)
Maha Kal was extremely enraged and laced with bow, once again
stepped up the fight.
With first stroke he tore the flag and, with the second, the enemy’s
head was cut off.(372)
With two strokes broke into pieces the wheels of the chariot,
And with further four strokes, all the four horses and all the rajas of
the world.(373)
Then, the face of the devil was cut by the Honourable Protector of
the world,
And, in another swing, with the sword, cut off the lion-like
human.(374)
Then was cut off the head of the devil by Eesa, the God.
The flowers were showered from the heaven and every body came to
compliment.(375)
Oh, the King of the humanity, you are admirable as you are annihilator
of the adversaries.
You are the saviour of entirety and considering me your servant, grant
me emancipation.(376)
Note: As we have seen above most of the stanzas in the chritar 404
describe the scenes of war between the devils (the evil) and Kaal or
Maha Kaal (the epitome of virtuosity). They seem to be the work of
one of the poets in the court of Guru Gobind Singh.
In the Stanza 377 to Stanza 401 we get the highly celestial
rendering, which is ascribed to Guru Gobind Singh, which needs to
be researched extensively. This was, perhaps, while revising the whole
text ofthe poet’s work, Guru Jee annexed this as a corollary to the
Stanza 376. These verses known as Kabiyo baach bentee, Chaupaee,
are the humble supplication begging for the benevolence of God,
Almighty. It is one of the five vocalizations, which are, currently,
recited at the time of the preparation of nectar (Amrit) for baptizing.
The English adaptation of the Chaupaee, rendered by great many
scholars, is frequently available. The one, which in my opinion is the
(765)

quite authentic, is translated and published by Dr. Santokh Singh. It


is available at Sikh Resource Centre, RR1, Princeton, Ontario, NOJ
1VO, Canada.

The Poet’s Supplication

Chaupaee
Protect us with Your hands, so that our heart’s desires are fulfilled.
Our heart may ever rest upon Your Feet; foster us as Your own.(377).
Destroy all our inner foes; protect us with Your hands.
Our families may abide in peace, (remaining) as the; Creator’s
servants and devotees(378).
Protect us with your own hands; instantly destroy all our adversaries.
All our hopes be fulfilled; the thirst for Your Name may continue.(379)
Forsaking You, I may never meditate on anyone else; whatever boons
1 covet for, I may obtain from You.
Emancipate all our devotees and disciples; picking our antagonists,
annihilate them.(380)
Save me with Your hands and decimate the apprehension of the death.
Forever, endow me your shelter; ever remaining on our side, You, the
Sire of the Sword-banner, protect us.(381)
Oh, You the Protector, be our defender; Beloved Lord, the Helper of
the Holy.
Friend of the humble, Crusher of the wicked, You are the Lord of the
fourteen worlds.(382)
The Timeless Being embodied Brahma; The Timeless Being incarnated
Shiva.
The Timeless Being personified Vishnu and who established the play
of the Timeless Being.(383)
The Timeless Being, who created Shiva and Yogis, instituted Brahma
as the Sovereign of the Vedas.
The Timeless Being, who founded the populace, to Him, I pay my
obeisance.(384 )
The Timeless Being, who originated the world, produced the gods,
the demons and the demigods.
The One, who remains manifested from the beginning to the end,
bear in mind, is my Guru.(385)
To Him alone, I salute, who, Himself, created all the populace.
(766)

He bestowed virtues to the adherents and destroyed their foes


swiftly.(386)
God knows everyone’s inner mind and feelings of the good and evil.
From ant to elephant, on all, He casts His Glance of Grace, and feels
joy.(387)
The afflictions to the saints, afflict Him, bUt He feels blissful on their
beatitude.
He realises the tribulations of all, and reaches the passions veiled in
all the hearts.(388)
When the Creator resolved to create, the populace manifested on the earth.
And whenever (You) want to dissolve, then, all the universe
amalgamates in You.(389)
All humans in the world, describe the God diversely, to their understanding.
But You remain detached; no one realises the mysteries of the world,
and the scriptures.(390)
Formless, sans evil, sans support. He is Primal, Beginingless,
Uncreated and Pure.
Only fools rush to expound His Mystery, which even Vedas do not
know.(391)
They take a stone to be God; stark fools know not the distinction.
They call Mahadev the eternal God; they seek not the Mystery of the
Formless God.(392)
Each, according to his intellect, describes God differently.
Beyond comprehensive is Your Creation and the process of its
genesis.(393)
One Form, uniquely beautiful, diversifies itself into pauper, prince,
and monarch.
He created countless species through eggs, womb, sweat, and earth.(394)
Sometimes expanding His Creativity He becomes a monarch. At the
moment of Creation, He merges His Creation, and is by Himself.
His Creation is a marvel; Primal, through the ages, and self-extant.(395)
Lord, protect me now; save the devotees and destroy the antagonists.
Destroy the evil minded, which create mischief; destroy all infidels
in battle.(396)
Lord of Sword-Banner, those who seek Shelter, their foes die miserably.
Those who fall at Your feet, You dislodge all their tribulations.(397)
Those who meditate on the Almighty even once, death cannot
approach them.
(767)

The Lord protects them always; their foes and sufferings vanish
instantly.(398)
The one, on whom God casts His Glance of Grace, his maladies are
removed instantly.
He comes to posses all miraculous powers. Even the shadow of
evildoers cannot touch him. (399)
One, who meditates on You, even once, is saved from the noose of
the death.
One, who utters Your Name, is freed from poverty, adversities, and.
sin.( 400)
Lord of Sword-Banner, I seek Your Shelter. Save me with Your Hand.
Be my succour everywhere; protect me from evildoers and sins.( 401)
The Creator showered His benevolence and the Granth was completed,
All the faults were diminished, and it was eliminated with the enmity
and guilt.( 402)
With the Revered Almighty’s magnanimity, the Granth attained the
fulfilment.
(Those who read) would be rewarded with the fruit of its benevolence
and would never face the distress.(403)
Arril
If a mute listens, he would find his tongue unbound,
If a fool puts his mind in it, he would attain wisdom,
And such a person would not face the afflictions,
But it all transpires only if anyone reads this Chaupaee.( 404)
Chaupaee
It is the year 1700 of Bikrimi Calendar,
Increase it by half (a century) and then add three (i.e. 1753BK and
1696AD),
On the full-Moon day of the month of Bhadon, on a Sunday,
Sitting on the Banks of (River) Sarluj, the Granth was corrected.(
